Lyrics:

When you want to call the planets to decide,
Or the wisdom of a Solomon to see;
When you want to have that Zen like sense
Of patience on your side,
But you wish you had the feet of Mercury.

When you want to speak of beauty like John Donne,
Or have the faith to cure all known disease;
When you want to have the anger
Of a mighty Ulysses,
But you wish you had the feet of Mercury.

Because it's easy now to run,
Not easy now to face
The way the sunlight breaks through here
And lands upon your face.

When you want to have the skill of diplomats,
Or the ability to dodge your Damocles;
When you want to have the humour
Just to laugh in the face of that,
But you wish you had the feet of Mercury.

Because it's easy now to run,
Not easy now to face
The way the sunlight breaks through here
And lands upon your face.

Away, away, away I’m running now
Away, away, away I’m running now
Away, away, away I’m running
On the feet of Mercury.

When you want to call the planets to decide,
Or the wisdom of a Solomon to see;
When you want to have that Zen like sense
Of patience on your side,
But you wish you had the feet of Mercury.
