Mercury or Retrograde, a Love Story Songtext
von Phil Forsyth

The ground it swelled and opened up and released demon locusts
The moon it fell apart and rained down on the earth last August
The best scientists told us for sure the ground would heal
But it cracked and steamed until Hell made it up here

But you love me


It was not Luna′s time, she was scheduled for demolition
By an unseen alien government we didn't get to petition
The Mercurians complained about the glint comin′ off the surface
They didn't so much mind earth's blue but off-white
Somehow made them nervous
It did kinda look like an egg, "Warning: here be dragons"
At least, that′s what Supreme Emperor Glarp said
On the solar transmission
Which, once it reached us, the speech was sorta lost
In auto-text translation
So we thought that they were sayin′ "peace among worlds"
Cruel fate be damned, my god, what a miscommunication
So they lasered anyone holding signs wishin' "happy landing"
When they came off their ships shaped like dandelion seedlings
And were then confronted so fast by the literal
Demon spawn of their indifference
Oh, what a mess to clean up in this post-apocalypse

But Kim loves me
But you love me

But you love me
But Kim loves me
