(March 2003)

Mercury [Hg] forms alloys, called amalgams,
with many metals. It is poisonous.
It is the only metal which is liquid at ordinary temperatures,
and solidifies at -39°C to a soft, mallable, ductile metal.

She is trapped
inside a month of gray
And they
take a little every day

She is a victim
of her own responses
shackled to a heart
that wants to settle...
and then runs away

It's a sin to be
fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me...

She is leaving
on a walkaway
She is leaving
me in disarray

In the absence of
a place to be
she stands there
looking back at me
hesitates...
and then turns away

She'll change
so suddenly
She's just
like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me

Keep some sorrow in your
hearts and minds
for the things that die
before their time

For the restlessly
abandoned homes
the tired and weary
rambler's bones
and stay beside me...
where I lie

She's entwined
in me
Crazy
as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me
