lyrics

Gemini's they lie.

Well they certainly are a certain kind of breed
and honesty is honestly a language they don’t speak
and sure they are a whole lot of fun
but stay away if you’re looking for love.

You can read it in their eyes.
It’s written between their thighs.
No need to be surprised
of course there are other guys
and as long as you don’t mind
you can have a good time.

Their mirror and camera reveal vanity
cause pictures and reflections reflect insecurity.
Never boring but they get bored easily,
so best be careful they don’t care when you bleed

May mercury make a mockery of their dishonesty
and curse them to be lonely for eternity.
May mercury make a mockery of your dishonesty
and curse you to be lonely for eternity.
