Mercury in Retrograde

(This is a work in progress)

We look to the heavens for some kind of sign

We look to the heavens only to find

The planets moving backwards

And the stars have re-aligned

We ask our selves what happens now

Only to find, Mercury the messenger

Is out of his mind

The stars can’t tell us everything

Or anything if you don’t believe

Plans go awry, and I want to know why

And I’m told it’s because of Mercury

Mercury traveling backwards through the sky

If we find our fortunes in the stars

Is the future really ours?

Why do (why would) we put our faith in the heavens,

When the planets move backwards and stars fall to earth

I'd write you a love song, but I'll tell you a lie 
I'll say this was a missed connection just another masquerade, 
and ill say it was because of the positions of the planets
I'll blame  it on Mercury, Mercury in retrograde

I’ve made some bad decisions

I’ve caused a lot of strife

Has Mercury been in retrograde,

my whole, my whole life?

I don’t want to be angry

But my mind is already made

We’ll blame it all on Mercury,

Mercury in retrograde

Mercury is the messenger

And the message has been lost

He’ll blaze backwards across the sky

At least from one point of view

His winged feet slowed and passed

Over ground already covered

The past returning for another view

This is a time for reflections

And I’m reflecting on you

I didn't know these mistakes were going to be made

But I blame it all on Mercury, Mercury in retrograde

Lying to my self is second nature, my stock and trade

I blame it all on Mercury, Mercury in retrograde

We look to the heavens for some kind of sign

We look to the heavens only to find

The planets moving backwards

And the stars have re-aligned

We ask our selves what happens now

Only to find, Mercury the messenger

Is out of his mind.

Absolved of my problems

When I look to the sky

I blame it all on Mercury

Mercury in retrograde.
