E-Bow The Letter Lyrics By R E M

    michael stipe
    look up what do you see all of you and all of me
    fluorescent and starry some of them they surprise
    the bus ride i went to write this 400 am this letter
    fields of poppies little pearls all the boys and all the girls
    sweettoothed each and every one a little scary
    i said your name i wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
    hash bars cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
    dreaming of maria callas whoever she is
    this fame thing i don’t get it
    i wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
    maybelline eyes and girlasboy moves
    it can take you far this star thing i don’t get it

    patti smith and michael stipe
    i’ll take you over there
    i’ll take you over there
    aluminum tastes like fear
    adrenaline it pulls us near
    i’ll take you over there
    it tastes like fear
    i’ll take you over

    michael stipe
    will you live to 8 will you ever welcome me
    will you show me something that nobody else has seen
    smoke it drink here comes the flood anything to thin the blood
    these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
    phone eat it drink just another chink
    cuts and dents they catch the light
    aluminum the weakest link
    i don’t want to disappoint you i’m not here to anoint you
    i would lick your feet but is that the sickest move
    i wear my own crown of sadness and sorrow
    and who’d have thought tomorrow would be so strange
    my loss and here we go again

    patti smith and michael stipe
    i’ll take you over there
    i’ll take you over there
    aluminum tastes like fear
    adrenaline it pulls us near
    i’ll take you over there
    it tastes like fear pulls us near
    i’ll take you over

    michael stipe
    look up and what do you see
    all of you and all of me florescent and starry
    and some of them they surprise
    i can’t look it in the eyes seconal spanish fly absinthe kerosene
    cherryflavored neck and collar
    i can smell the sorrow on your breath
    the sweat the victory and sorrow the smell of fear
    i got it

    patti smith and michael stipe
    i’ll take you over there
    aluminum tastes like fear
    adrenaline it pulls us near
    i’ll take you over take you there
    aluminum tastes like fear
    adrenaline it pulls us near
    i’ll take you over take you there
    it tastes like fear pulls us near
    i’ll take you over take you there
    it tastes like fear pulls us near

    patti smith and michael stipe
    pulls us near
    it tastes like fear
    tastes like fear
    pulls us near
    pulls us near
    near near
    over over over over
    and nearer and nearer
    over over yeah
    oh oh
    i’ll take you over
    yeah
    i’ll take you over i’ll take you there
    oh over
    i’ll take you there
    over baby
    i’ll take you over
    there there
    i’ll take you there
    there baby
