Mercury Dime, lyrics by John Reneaud

I got a Mercury Dime 
I think it keep me from crying
You know I have a good time 
Holdin' my Mercury Dime
When the walls come a' tumblin' down
I got no friends left for me in this town
'cept for my Mercury Dime
Lord know she keep me from cryin'

Mercury Dime is so fine Delight my pocket she shine
Winged sister give me a good time shine on my Mercury Dime
When the walls come a' tumblin' down
I got no friends left for me in this town
'cept for my Mercury Dime
Lord know she keep me from cryin' - yeah

I got my gods and my money while all you step back
I'm walking high upon a cloud on a cloudy day
Ah, they tell me "No way can you be so cool
when you're walking around in the clouds in the clouds" - yeah
Hey ain't none of you a tellin' it and takin' me down
I'm a king of this town

Mercury, Mercury Dime
You are a true friend of mine
Fond of you all the time
My love for you seems a crime
When the walls come a' tumblin' down
I got no friends left for me in this town
'cept for my Mercury Dime
Lord know she keep me from cryin' - yeah

I got my gods and my money while all you step back
I'm walking high upon a cloud on a cloudy day
Ah, they tell me "No way can you be so cool
when you're walking around in the clouds in the clouds" - yeah
Hey ain't none of you a tellin' it ain't takin' me down
I'm a king of this town
