Mercury Songtext
von Becca Stevens

Modern paintings are like women
You′ll never enjoy them if you try to understand them
Modern paintings are like women
You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them

Dullness is a disease, darling
I′m not going to be a star
I am going to be a legend
Excess is part of my nature

Modern paintings are like women
You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them

I hate pockets in trousers
Oh, by the way, I do not wear a hose
My hose is my own, no bottle down there
I dress to kill, but tastefully

I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now


You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them
You′ll never enjoy them if you try to under-

Love is Russian roulette for me
No one loves the real me inside
Don′t wanna change the world with music
I just wanna feel that I'm being myself
People are apprehensive when they meet me
They think I′m going to eat them
If I lost everything tomorrow
I'd claw my way back to the top somehow

I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now

Modern paintings are like women
You′ll never enjoy them if you try to understand them
Modern paintings are like women
You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them


Does it mean this?
Does it mean that?
How did you make it?
That′s all anybody wants to know
I'm getting this
I'm seeing that
Is this what you′re saying?
If you see it, darling, then it′s so

The others don't like my interviews
And frankly, I don′t care much for theirs
You either have the magic or you don't
There′s no way you can work up to it
I want to live the Victorian life
Surrounded by exquisite clutter
I really need danger and excitement
I don't regret, I′m just me, I'm just me

I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all and I want it now

I want it all
I want it all
I want it all (I want it all)
I want it all
I want it all (life)
I want it all (I want it tomorrow)
I want it all (I won't give a damn)
I want it all (I want it now)
