[Verse 1]
I am a former statue
A statue of a god
Pictures of me, so perfectly
You'd think that I could breathe
And now just look at me
No nose or mouth or eyes
Oh, they wore off long ago
And my arms are where the wind blows down the road
And there's nothing left below
He's just gone without a bone
[Verse 2]
Though I'm an abstract shape now
I once was Mercury
The people so adored me
I really did believe
That Mercury was me
And I could fly with godspeed
Though I never left this block
And now I see I'm just a rock
Some guy made look
Like a guy in a book
He'd read it if he could
[Bridge]
All you people are so strange to me
You live and die so quickly
And now I really feel sympathy
You are still so strange to me
[Outro]
And I wonder if somebody else
In a future society
Could make me into someone new
You know, I hope they do
I really hope they do
