I was listening to a lot of Chris Cornell's songs (solo, Soundgarden, Audioslave, etc) when I wrote this lyric so it was his voice that I had in my head when I wrote the lyric. Maybe his tragic end also contributed to the theme of the song.
Mercury's Rising
(Intro)
Have you ever felt like you're gonna fall?
I felt like I should fly
(Verse 1)
I put on my spacesuit
Said goodbye to my loved ones
I guess I'll be on the news
But it won't matter anyway
(Chorus)
Got a little too close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
Got a little close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
(Verse 2)
I climbed in my spaceship
Oh yeah
And then I battened down all the hatches
I took this bird for a spin
But it won't matter anyway
(Chorus)
I got a little close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
Got a little too close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
(Bridge)
I can see the light
Or is it the fire?
I guess I'm gonna find out soon enough
Climbing higher and higher,
Woah, crash landed
Smashed in a wall
Tried to fly
But I was destined to fall
(Chorus)
Got a little close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
Got a little too close to the sun today
Mercury's rising
(Outro)
Mercury?s rising
