REM - E-bow The Letter Lyrics
Look up, what do you see?All of you and all of meFluorescent and starrySome of them, they surpriseThe bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.This letterFields of poppies, little pearlsAll the boys and all the girls sweet-toothedEach and every one a little scaryI said your nameI wore it like a badge of teenage film starsHash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiarasDreaming of maria callasWhoever she isThis fame thing, I dont get itI wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through itMaybelline eyes and girl-as-boy movesI can take you farThis star thing, I dont get itIll take you over, thereIll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearIll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereIll take you overWill you live to 83?Will you ever welcome me?Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?Smoke it, drinkHere comes the floodAnything to thin the bloodThese corrosives do their magic slowly and sweetPhone, eat it, drinkJust another chinkCuts and dents, they catch the lightAluminum, the weakest linkI dont want to disappoint youIm not here to anoint youI would lick your feetBut is that sickest move?I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrowAnd whod have thought tomorrow could be so strange?My loss, and here we go againIll take you over, thereIll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearIll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereIll take you overLook up, what do you see?All of you and all of meFluorescent and starrySome of them, they surpriseI cant look it in the eyesSeconal, spanish fly, absinthe, keroseneCherry-flavored neck and collarI can smell the sorrow on your breathThe sweat, the victory and sorrowThe smell of fear, I got itIll take you over, thereIll take you over, thereAluminum, tastes like fearAdrenaline, it pulls us nearIll take you overIt tastes like fear, thereIll take you overPulls us nearTastes like fear..Nearer, nearerOver, over, over, overYeah, look overIll take you there, oh, yeahIll take you thereOh, overIll take you thereOver, let meIll take you there..There, there, baby, yeah
