Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My mercury's in retrograde, my mercury's in retrograde
My mercury's in retrograde, my mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury, mercury's in
Mercury's in, mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
[Verse 2]
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what's forgotten, try not to worry
About what's been missed
[Verse 3]
Scars on my shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court, Jonjo's in Sydney
And he ain't returning, I'm sitting  in Soho, trying to stay drunk
[Verse 4]
In any bar in the world, from Silver lake to Williamsburg
You could not pick another stranger and fall in love
[Verse 5]
Mercury's in, mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
[Verse 6]
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what's forgotten, try not to worry
About what's been missed
[Verse 7]
Bleeding gums and the veins protruding
You're starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayr's in L.A. and she ain't returning
I'm sleeping with people I don't even like
[Verse 8]
In any bar in the world, from Silver lake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger and fall in love
[Verse 9]
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
[Verse 10]
When I saw you last night I wanted to say, run away with me
Away form these cynics, that this could be the
Start of something truly real, but all that I could say was hey
Was hey, was hey, was hey
[Verse 11]
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in, mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in retrograde, my mercury's in retrograde
Mercury's in retrograde, my mercury's in retrograde
