Lyrics Mercury Rev

Mercury Rev

A Kiss From An Old Flame

With a wink from a starlet's eye a string of pearls come to life

Who knows what black and crazy thoughts swim inside a girlfriend's heart

No brighter jewel is there above than the gem of a girl still in love

Below the horizon the last crown jewel pales among the stars at noon

When out of the blue a rainbow rockets through

A kiss from an old flame A trip to the moon

Endlessly falling my way downtown someone to throw both arms around

Who knows what black and crazy names swim around inside her brain

Adrift across the silver screen just imagine you and me

Our strolling make-believe ballroom glides set the rainbow room afire

Off into the starlit night two fools rush in you and I

Feel the rough hand close behind above the Heaven's Open wide...
