Mercury Lyrics by Jay Summer

Shade

2021

[Verse 1]
I just need a little drink
Cold on dry tongue
Warm bread, back of throat
Fuel tank, miles of road
Gas send mind afloat

Just need a little space
Naked, no shame
Square feet, rest my head
Acres, crop and shed
Hills for my waste, hills for my dead

[Chorus 1]
And I...
I just heard the news
Famine, crowding
But i eat good
And my neighbors haven't moved

[Interlude 1]
A simple life x6

[Verse 2]
Need a little shade
Sun-kissed, dressed all white
Red rush into cheek
Push deep into pink
Laid under green tree

Praying
We just need a little shade
Palms swaying high above
I’m not made for the heat
Rising mеrcury
Bring storms for new breed

[Chorus 2]
And we just heard thе news
Heatwave, flooding
But the sky's blue
And my neighbors haven't moved

[Interlude 2]
A simple life x12

[Bridge]
A simple life
A handshake with carbon dioxide
Seemed innocent
Till the anchor cried
Said that we’re out of time

[Chorus 3]
And we just heard the news
Spaceships, leaving
But there's no room
And it's too late
And it's too late

[Outro]
It's too late
It's too late...
Too fucking late
