Mercury Towers Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Well it's been a long day 

I can't wait to slip out of my skin 

And it's been a long way 

I can't decide what state I'll be in 

I live in the tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

Out of the pink sky 

Comes a spanish radio show 

Strange not to feel high 

Watch the sleeping city below 

I watch from my tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

Beam from the tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

Well there's a factory 

Down at the end of, like merlin street 

And they pay a good price 

Guaranteed and always discreet 

When I feel bigger than life 

I hold a mirror up to my breath 

But it's been a long day 

I can't wait to slip out of my skin 

Skin in the tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

Come to the tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

High in the tower 

It's only an hour away from here 

I live in the tower 

Curled in the tower... 

Sleep in the tower...
