Mercury Crossing - On Display

It’s damp in here,
and it’s raining outside.
Your memories linger…
stuck to the walls of my mind.
Like wallpaper you cover me,
but you’re tattered and torn.
The seams are showing as they lift
from the floor to the ceiling.

Chorus: My mind is reeling
            while I hold perfectly still…
            and the world rushes around me.
            Wrapped in saran wrap—bound, I can’t move.
            The perversion is a turn on
            and you see straight through.

Hey Superman,
how’s that x-ray vision treating you?
Keep on staring and you’ll burn a hole
right through her little skirt.
You’ve learned to use imagination
‘cause that’s all you’ll ever have.
I’ve stopped caring and prefer abuse
‘cause that’s all we humans do.

Chorus

Bridge: Perversion in peroxide, clean it out,
            wash it out, out of your mind.
            Erase me now, wrap me up.
            Saran wrap superstar, stare straight through.

I’m out of rope
and I’m not tied to anyone.
I place myself in a glass box.
I want to hide out on display.
Do you see me, do you see me now?
Am I who you thought I was?
In my glass box on display—
you can look but don’t touch.

Chorus

Bridge: Perversion in peroxide, clean it out,
            wash it out, out of your mind.
            Erase me now, wrap me up.
            Saran wrap superstar, stare straight through.

            In my glass box, I’m hiding out, on display,
            on display, don’t touch me.
            In my glass box, I’m hiding out, on display,
            on display, don’t touch me.
