The Feet of Mercury

When you wanna call the planets to decide Or a wisdom of a Solomon to see When you wanna have that Zen-like sense of patience on your side But you wish you had the feet of Mercury When you wanna speak of beauty like John Donne Or have the faith to cure all known disease When you wanna have the anger of a mighty Ulysses But you wish you had the feet of Mercury Cause it's easy now to run Oh, not easy now to face The way the sunlight breaks through here And lands upon your face When you wanna have the skill of diplomats Or the ability to dodge your Damocles When you wanna have the humour Just to laugh in the face of that But you wish you had the feet of Mercury Cause it's easy now to run Oh, not easy now to face The way the sunlight breaks through here And lands upon your face Away, away, away I'm a-running now Away, away, away I'm a-running now Away, away, away I'm a-running on the feet of Mercury When you wanna call the planets to decide Or a wisdom of a Solomon to see When you wanna have that Zen-like sense of patience on your side But you wish you had the feet of Mercury Oh, you wish you had the feet of Mercury The feet of Mercury The feet of Mercury, yeah The feet of Mercury The feet of Mercury The feet of Mercury, ooh The feet of Mercury The feet of Mercury
