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

adrenaline it pulls us near
i’ll take you over there

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

the sweat the victory and sorrow the smell of fear
