Turn on the lights in the hotel room
On the rarefied air that she moves through
Playin' a game of Who's Leaving Who
Are you leaving me if I'm not leaving you?
Uh huh
Venus wades into the sea
Above her sways infinity
A heroic supernova's seen
Burning bright in the canopy
Darkly, we see
And though I hope to be a better man
We all fall down
That panting, animal intimacy
When the thermometer reads 95 degrees
We sweat and pray all afternoon
That the storm clouds come
That the heat break soon
Oh mercurial Mercury
Crossing all our boundaries
A far cry from the hotel room
With its air-conditioned, committee'd gloom
Ah I wish that I could see the boy
Who would find your fine house and destroy
And on some winsome winter day
I'd turn to you and I would say
Darkly we, we see
Though I hope to be a better man
We all fall down
Darkly, we see
At first in part and then in full
We open our eyes
