From the recording The Red Mercury Blues

Lyrics

When the USSR fell apart, they stashed a stockpile awayIn microwaves and third world caves, most undiscovered to this dayRed mercury, red mercury
It is a thick red liquid with a brilliant metallic shine300 K is what you’ll pay per kilogram for mineRed mercury, red mercury
The black is an aphrodisiacAnd the orange will cure youThere is no color mercuryThat will not do anything you want it to do
If what you lack is maximum destructionThen what you need is a big bang for your buck, sonRed mercuryRed mercury
Don’t be deceived, dishonorable thieves will try this trick:Ordinary mercury mixed with red lip stickRed mercury, red mercury
The black is an aphrodisiacAnd the orange will cure youThere is no color mercuryThat will not do anything you want it to do
It’s not a hoax, I’ve seen it folks, I’ve seen it with my own eyesAnd you know it only goes to show it’s real when the government deniesRed mercury, red mercury
