Kitten - Mercury Lyrics

Sundays were mosaic
Those nights smelled like popcorn
""Lift your hands up!"" the man would say
""Sing a new song!""
I saw photographs of heaven
A future from afar
Then we'd drive home in that Volvo
I was miserable in that car

Was it a chore
To be the man
To be the man

All my dreams are killing me
I cannot reach the old emotion
The moments I'm after, have vanished forever
It took so long for me to notice

A young mother and a rockstar
But he couldn't pay a bill
With a wife full of ambition
It complicated that deal
And when you came home after midnight
I always knew why
But I really loved the freedom
The boys in the night

All my dreams are killing me
I cannot reach the old emotion
The moments I'm after, have vanished forever
It took so long for me to notice
For me to notice

Do you blame yourself at all for what was lost?
Tell me: did you do everything that you could?
Seems like it was nothing to you
Was it tough to give up on your family?
I used to be so afraid of the future
But you told me everything would stay the same
And I believed you

All my dreams are killing me
Why can't we reach the old emotion
It seems like we'll never be all together
It took so long for me to notice
