Mercury

Mr. Jupiter, tell me the way of the universe
tell me the song of the stars
Mr. Jupiter
go away now you can't answer me these
Mr. Mercury, tell me the essence of the milky way
tell me all about the cosmic plagues and miles
and miles of matter and dust
Mr. Mercury
you always could answer me
Mr. Venus, tell me oh, tell me about saturn
tell me about dancing inside of patterns and silver
Mr. Venus, sing me a song
Mr. Venus
you're just doing this wrong
Mr. Mercury, tell me of orbits and trailing things
of stardust in comets and spinning rings and asteroids
tell me of the worlds
Mr. Mercury
you always could answer me
