Leave for the country let the day begin   I carry my share of original sin   I'm writing you a letter from a telephone   Sign it messenger man in the great unknown      And I wanna be like Mercury   With the wind blowin' through my hair      Swim up the river to the cedar trees   Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze   Bicycle trail only runs so far   This is a place you can't get by car      And I wanna be like Mercury   With the wind blowin' through my hair      Walk through the woods on a moonlit night   I carry a compass and a small flashlight   Deliver my message in a mason jar   Planting my seeds they're growing star to star      And I wanna be like Mercury   With the wind blowin' through my hair
