REM - The Outsiders Lyrics
You took me to the restaurant where we first metYou knocked a future shock crowbar upside my headI got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clockWhen you told me what you knewLost in the momentThe day that the music stoppedAnd I do remember youDrawing patterns with a cork on the tableclothPromising volcanic change of plotWhere will this lead us - I'm scared of the stormThe outsiders are gathering, a new day is bornI tried to tell you I am not afraidYou looked up and saw it all across my faceSo am I with you or am I againstI don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regretNow I'm trying to rememberThe feeling when the music stoppedWhen you told me what you knewLost in the momentThe day that the music stoppedAnd I do remember youDrawing patterns with a cork on the tableclothPromising volcanic change of plotWhere does this leave us - I'm scared of the stormThe outsiders are gathering, a new day is bornDrawing patterns with a cork on the tableclothPromising volcanic change of plotWhere does this leave us - I'm scared of the stormThe outsiders are gathering, a new day is bornThe outsiders are gathering, a new day is bornThe outsiders are gatheringA man walks away when every muscle says to stayHow many yesterdays - they each weigh heavyWho says what changes may come?Who says what we call home?I know you see right through me, my luminescence fadesThe dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraidI've been a million times in my mindThis is really just a technicality, frailty, realityUh, it's time to breathe, time to believeLet it go and run towards the seaThey don't teach that, they don't know what you meanThey don't understand, they don't know what you meanThey don't get it, I wanna screamI wanna breathe again, I wanna dreamI wanna float a quote from Martin Luther KingI am not afraidI am not afraidI am not afraidI am not afraidI am not afraidI am not afraidI am not afraid
