Lyrics:
[Verse 1] White-faced phantoms in a foggy rain Minnows in the pool, the way they slip away And I go fumbling, go run again to repossess The story of my youth The story of my electric past [Pre-Chorus 1] Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury [Verse 2] Loud like lions and as slick as wolves Desperately we hunt the other animals But in the end, if all we are is dogs out back, chasing cars Then pray that we don't get the things we want [Pre-Chorus 2] Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh [Chorus] Another pound of flesh Offer it up to the gods of American success But no matter what you are You're only second best And it's all that you can ever hope to be The way you chase that mercury, oh [Verse 3] Fragile frames fumble in the mystery Afraid to be exposed while we pretend to be Something more than what we are Fools in love with punch drunk hearts Mystified by everything we see [Pre-Chorus 3] Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh Oh, the way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh [Chorus] Another pound of flesh Offer it up to the gods of American success But no matter who you are You're only second best And it's all that you can ever hope to be The way you chase that mercury, oh The way you chase that mercury [Instrumental] [Bridge] There must be more to this Our desperate wandering How do we put to rest All of our discontent Beneath the shadows of All that we think we want Is there a light we can't see? There must be more to this Our desperate wandering How do we put to rest All of our discontent Beneath the shadows of All that we think we want Is there a light we can't see? The way you chase that mercury
