R.E.M. - Chorus And The Ring download mp3

Lyrics

Hey there now young holy
Swing along, quote the scriptures
Keep them guessing which pit you crawled from
Just defy it, just deny it
Was it fun?
Your time has come-
What have you done?
What have you done?
That’s when the insults start to sting
You can’t remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God singing
It’s the poison that in measures
Brings illuminating vision
It’s the knowing with a wink
That we expect in Southern women
It’s the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself
It’s the octopus that crawled back to the sea
That’s when the insults start to sting
You can’t remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God ring!
Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
Laughing cause the racket makes the blackbirds sing
Write the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bones
Singe your own wings burning books
You got the chorus and the ring
That’s when the insults start to sting
You can’t remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine sings
That’s when the calibration brittle
As a stick gets you the gold ring
And the tar museum Che Guevara wink
Gold ring
Gold ring
Sing…
