Mercury Poisoning Lyrics - Graham Parker

No more pretending now, the albatross is dying in its nest 

The company is crippling me, 

the worst trying to ruin the best, the best 

Their promotion's so lame 

They could never ever take it to the real ball game 

Maybe they think I'm a pet 

Well I've got all the diseases 

I'm breaking out in sweat, you bet, because 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

It's fatal and it don't get better 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

The best kept secret in the west

The boys and me are getting real well known around town 

But every time we try to spread the action 

Someone always brings it down, down 

I ate the orange and I don't feel well 

For them it's inconvenience for me it's hell 

The geriatric staff think we're freaks 

They couldn't sell kebabs to the Greeks, the geeks 

Inaction speaks, and 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

It's fatal and it don't get better 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

The best kept secret in the west 

Is this a Russian conspiracy, no it's just idiocy 

Is this a Chinese burn 

I gotta a dinosaur for a representative 

It's got a small brain and refuses to learn 

Photos 

Their promotion's so lame 

They could never ever take it to the real ball game 

Listen I ain't a pet 

I aint a token hipster, in your monopoly set 

You bet because 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

It's fatal and it don't get better 

I got, Mercury poisoning 

The best kept secret in the west 

He's got, Mercury poisoning 

It's fatal and it don't get better 

He's got, Mercury poisoning 

The best kept secret in the west 

Yeah the best kept secret in the west The best kept secret in the west
