Strange Currencies Lyrics By R E M

    i don’t know why you’re mean to me
    when i call on the telephone
    and i don’t know what you mean to me
    but i want to turn you on turn you up figure you out
    i wanna take you on

    these words you will be mine
    these words you will be mine all the time

    the fool might be my middle name
    but i’d be foolish not to say
    i’m going to make whatever it takes
    bring you up call you down sign your name secret love
    make it rhyme take you in and make you mine

    these words you will be mine
    these words you will be mine all the time oh

    i tripped and fell did i fall
    what i want to feel i want to feel it now

    and now with love come strange currencies
    and here is my appeal
    i need a chance a second chance a third chance a fourth chance
    a word a signal a nod a little breath
    just to fool myself to catch myself to make it real real

    these words you will be mine
    these words you will be mine all the time oh

    these words you will be mine
    these words they haunt me hunt me down catch in my throat make me pray
    say love’s confined oh
