R.E.M. fue una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens.

{Verse riff} Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. a marker to mark where my tears run dry. I cross it, bless it, alkali.

{Piano solo}
{Verse riff} I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. Now I can't see anything. I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry. I point my nose to the northern star, watch the decline from a hazy distance.
DGEm The story is a sad one, told many times. DGEm The story of my life in trying times. DGEm Just add water, stir in lime. DA How the west was won and where it got us.

Shifting the dream Nothing could bring me further from rougher tide. We're shifting the dream. It's charging the sea. I know where I marked the signs.
Suffer dreams of a world gone mad I like it like that and I know it. I know him well, ugly and sweet A temper madness who believed in extreme.
That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down I say they aren't gonna like me I say they don't know thier plane Never left the ground.
(Chorus) x 1
Lift me, lift me, I'll attain my dream. I lost myself, I lost the, Heartache calling me.
I lost myself in sorrow. I lost myself in pain. I lost myself in gravity. Memory, leave, leave, leave.
(Chorus) x 2
In my hands my eyes are still I walk into the sea Shoot myself in a different place And leave it.
Wait for this to take me, It longed for my release. Waited for the calling, To leave, leave

Lyrics:
I never thought of this as funny It speaks another world to me I wanna be your Easter bunny I wanna be your Christmas tree.
I'll strip the world that you must live in of all its godforsaken greed. I'll ply the tar of your feathers I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet. You and me. You and me. You and me.
And if I choose your sanctuary. I'll want to wash you with my hair. I'll want to drink of sacred fountains and find elixirs hidden there.
I'll eat the lotus and peyote. I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing. I'll want the secrets of the temple. I'll want the finger with the ring. You and me. You and me. You and me.
And if you made me your religion. I'll give all the room you need. I'll be the drawing of your breath. I'll be cup if you should bleed. I'll be the sky above the Ganges I'll be the vast and stormy sea. I'll be the lights that guide you inland. I'll be the visions you will see. Visions you will see. You will see. You will see. You and me. You and me. You and me.
{Main Riff} This is horror movie stuff. the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'. You mean this opera involves handcuffs? I lay defeated.
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet. she's a girl and she's loving me but distance is my tendency. I am defeated

{Main riff} If I'm your oyster, where's the war? You leave me gasping, tattered and torn. I know you can't find a fork. I am just a little acorn.
Well, acorns grow to mighty trees. You've got sauce, but you don't have knees. Now look who's asking pretty please. I lay defeated.
A5C5G5Bb5 / / / A5 / A5 / Have you lost your place? A5C5G5 I wore my doormat face. A5C5G5Bb5 / / / A5 / A5 / I hung my this or that. A5C5G5 I laid my welcome mat.

{Main riff} Call your bathroom friends around. I will fake a little frown. I will be your little clown, easily defeated.
Yeah, shut the door and open wide. seconal and astroglide. fuck with me and traumatize. don't you see I love your hide?
All the beauty that's trapped inside. Can't you see I love your hide. Can't you see I love your hide. Can't you see it?
A5C5G5Bb5 / / / A5 / A5 / Have you lost your place? A5C5G5 I wore my doormat face. A5C5G5Bb5 / / / A5 / A5 / I hung my this or that. A5C5G5 I laid my welcome mat.

you played around, you played me lover, I let it go at Kill Devil Hill. You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb that you can't even feel.
All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives Broken casino and waterslide Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice. Gravity pulls on the power line.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky. This is a land could eat a man alive. Say you'd leave it all behind.
{Bridge}: D, G
There's a radio tower that's egging me on Back to the place where you never belong. Where people thrive on their own contempt. Whatever meaning is long gone, spent. If you had to guess or make bet, would you place yourself inside of it? the mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh. "Tricked again." Let go, okay.
