The Feet of Mercury Songtext
von Gary Kemp

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
