Eli Carvajal - Mercury

If I lived on Mercury
I would celebrate
With my friends and family
My a-hundred-and-ninth birthday
Who knows how old I could grow
Who knows where the time would go
I'm a century on Mercury
On Venus, 42
In Martian years I'm just 14
On Jupiter, I'm 2
How much money could I save
On candles and the birthday cake
Living here I'll go the way
My parents' parents grew
The Earth my parents' parents knew
Is scattering the seed
And though the polar ice in the North and the South
Is Equatorial water now
And though my hometown's temperature
Is rising with the seas
I'm gonna lift the little hands my little grandad gave to me
And if I play halfway as glad or gracefully
I'm gonna thank my little grandad's piano hands and narrow feet
That he bequeathed his middle kid and then me
Live with me on Mercury
Bide the time away
Pretty soon our pleasures prove
To rely on the birthday suits
We'll hide behind the pressurised
Space-helmets and the clothes
Call every birthday seventeen
And make a wish for gravity
