Chasing Mercury - Beverly Heights
lyrics
BEVERLY HEIGHTS
save her life shes sinking, drowning in this pool
going off the deep end on this model ship of fools
give her intuition, give her strength and give her poise
leave her not without a voice to shout
and rise above the noise
that keeps us confused
bored and amused with the state were in
cant focus her eyes
no reason to try when you just cant win

in between the sky and the open road
we could hitch a ride on the wind and the tails of our coats
ill be right by her side and we could see what it feels like
to stand in the spotlight

im saving her possessions
she shrugs her indiscretions off
business decisions all, no feelings were involved
she sounds as if shes shaking
and now the signals breaking up
if thats the price i pay, i never paid enough
attention shes sick
and what they cant fix they can medicate
they said shes all right
but some things in this life you just cant fake

white walls and phone calls, a far cry from home
wandering these halls like miniature roads
traveled the world in the course of a night
a tale of a girl in the spotlight
its not right

i know shes sick
and what they cant fix they can medicate
she says shes all right
but some things in this life you just cant fake

in between the sky and the open road
we could hitch a ride on the wind and the tails of our coats
ill be right by her side and we could see what it feels like
to stand in the spotlight
in between the night and the morning sun
she realized what she swore she would never become
was staring back in her reflection
wish there was someone to turn out the spotlight
