[Verse 1]
Two lights, flying naked in the drunken night
UFO or maybe some faulty electrical
Moonlit sheet, bearing the rays from adjacent streets
Alien, who am I to say, I'll be one any day?
[Chorus]
As I look up at the sky today
I see the man from Mercury
I think he's looking back at me
I'm an ant in a masterpiece
[Verse 2]
The stars could be a giant's candy
Resting in the licorice-coloured jar
The white moon could be a window to garden full of empty rooms
Galaxies upon galaxies
This is a stipple brush painting
And I must be the mistake in the orange tree
[Chorus]
As I look up at the sky today
I see the man from Mercury
I think he's looking back at me
[Bridge]
Neanderthal sailing on a cube earth
Making fire to a replace the sun
Like plastic in the blue surf
And swords before machine guns
The glacier falls into the river
And Jupiter towers from up high
When life starts to wither
Remember your a dot in the sky
[Outro]
As I look up at the sky today
I see the man from Mercury
I think he's looking back at me
