Leave for the country let the day begin

I carry my share of original sin

I'm writing you a letter from a telephone

Sign it messenger man in the great unknown



And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair



Swim up the river to the cedar trees

Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze

Bicycle trail only runs so far

This is a place you can't get by car



And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair



Walk through the woods on a moonlit night

I carry a compass and a small flashlight

Deliver my message in a mason jar

Planting my seeds they're growing star to star



And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair
