STORY & VIBE:
A melancholic, moody, witty track.
A moody, noir-style song with a slow, walking bassline and tremolo electric guitar. It sounds like a smoky jazz club in 1955. The lyrics are humorous yet sincere, using astrology to explain communication breakdowns.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
The phone is dead, the letter got lost I'm paying the heavy celestial cost I tried to tell you that I love you so But the signal stopped and wouldn't go The planets are moving in a backward slide And I got nowhere left to run and hide Communication breakdown in the sky Leaving me here to wonder why

[Chorus]
It's the Mercury Retrograde Blues Bad timing and the bad news Gemini is fighting with the moon And you left me way too soon The stars are crossed and the wires are frayed Just a victim of the retrograde I'm waiting for the planet to turn around And bring my baby back to this town

[Verse 2]
I checked the chart, I checked the sign The alignment wasn't looking fine Computer crashed and the car broke down Darkest luck in the whole town It ain't my fault, it's the gravity Messing with you and messing with me Please don't go, just wait a few weeks Until the universe no longer speaks

[Chorus]
It's the Mercury Retrograde Blues Bad timing and the bad news Gemini is fighting with the moon And you left me way too soon The stars are crossed and the wires are frayed Just a victim of the retrograde I'm waiting for the planet to turn around And bring my baby back to this town

[Bridge]
Turn direct. Please go straight. Don't seal my fate. At the garden gate.

[Tremolo Guitar Solo - Melancholic]

[Outro]
Blame the stars. Not my heart. Retrograde.
