R.E.M. Until next time
Posted on September 21, 2011
R.E.M. one of my all time favorite bands decided today that they wanted to quit on their own terms and in a positive way. Every relationship, accomplishment, and heartbreak of my life they have played a role in supporting me or giving me something inspirational to think about. This is one of my favorites and seem appropriate since I’m writing this from LA:
Electrolite
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I’m gasoline
I’m burnin’ clean
Twentieth century go to sleep
You’re Pleistocene
That is obscene
That is obscene
You are the star tonight
Your sun electric, outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You’re outta sight
If I ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
I am alive
Hollywood is under me
I’m Martin Sheen
I’m Steve McQueen
I’m Jimmy Dean
If you ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
Up in the sky
Stand on a cliff and look down there
Don’t be scared, you are alive
You are alive
Twentieth century go to sleep
Really deep
We won’t blink
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I’m not scared
I’m outta here
I’m not scared
I’m outta here
