Lyrics (unofficial)

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

(Mercury towers)

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
(Mercury towers)

Come to the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

High in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

Curled in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
(Mercury towers)

Sleep in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
