Mercury Crossing - Life in 3rd Person

Feels like a scene out of a
black and white movie.
No Technicolor to save us now.
But she’s got some hope
like a drop of rain in the dark.
Smoking in the rain, I see her
walking on the water stained sidewalks.
Watching through a pane of glass,
I see her there, I see her there.

Chorus: But it’s ok, there’s a glimmer
            of hope on her front door step.
            And it’s shinning like diamonds
            on a long necklace.
            But she keeps on walking.
            Yeah it’s ok, yeah it’s ok—
            living in third person for a day.

Her hair is mangled and matted
to her forehead like a label, like a local in
a foreign place she grew up in…
another place to land.
She’s got some hope,
that could shatter like a mirror.
Seven years of superstition leads us here.
I hope she finds her way—
her way in this hopeless place.

Chorus

Bridge: Feels like I’m watching my life from the outside
           like some out of body experience.
