Lyrics
White heat
Silver drip
Mercury picnic
On the lip
Bright knife
Soft fruit
Something pretty
Coming loose
Peach split on the silver
Sunlight on the blade
Whole day looked harmless
Till the metal touched the taste
Warm grass under elbows
Sweetness in the heat
Laughter going thinner
With the shine beneath the teeth
Juice down the wristbone
Chrome under the tongue
Every little good thing
Tasting slightly wrong
No one stopped smiling
No one left the spread
The light got more beautiful
The longer danger fed
Slow gold
Cold wire
The body learns
Its appetite
Bright skin
Sharp bloom
Something in the daylight
Starts to bruise
Mercury picnic
Silver in the sweet
Whole room glowing
Like it wants to be eaten
Mercury picnic
Sun on the bite
Pleasure says stay
While the blood says this isn't right
Mercury picnic
No shade, no cure
Every little beautiful thing
Feels a little too pure
Taste it
Taste it
Mercury picnic
Taste it
Taste it
Let the whole thing shine
Cherries in the ashtray
Wine on the white cloth
Girls in liquid laughter
Like they never heard of loss
Flute line through the sunlight
Bass under the air
Everything too open
To pretend there's nothing there
I like my bright dangerous
I like my nice too thin
I like that split-second
When the poison passes for skin
Tip the tray a little
Watch the silver run
Some things only glitter
When they're wrong enough to want
Slow gold
Cold wire
The body learns
Its appetite
Bright skin
Sharp bloom
Something in the daylight
Starts to bruise
Mercury picnic
Silver in the sweet
Whole room glowing
Like it wants to be eaten
Mercury picnic
Sun on the bite
Pleasure says stay
While the blood says this isn't right
Mercury picnic
No shade, no cure
Every little beautiful thing
Feels a little too pure
No storm
No dark
Just noon
And spark
No warning
No rot
Just a perfect
Little spot
If you want the miracle
Watch what it becomes
The brightest thing at the table
Was the first thing that went wrong
The sunlight got metallic
The fruit forgot the tree
That’s what happens when the pretty thing
Learns chemistry
Flash
Fruit
Chrome
Heat
Flash
Fruit
Glass
Teeth
Hey
Hey
Mercury picnic
Hey
Hey
Let the daylight leak
Mercury picnic
Silver in the sweet
Whole room glowing
Like it wants to be eaten
Mercury picnic
Sun on the bite
Pleasure says stay
While the blood says this isn't right
Mercury picnic
No shade, no cure
Every little beautiful thing
Feels a little too pure
White heat
Silver drip
Mercury picnic
On the lip
