r.e.m. – 9-9 (live / 1984 aragon ballroom) lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced
now what does that mean?
is there a just contradiction? nothing much
now i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep
if i should die before i wake, i pray the lord to hesitate
hey, oh

[verse 1]
right on target
twisting tongues
got a stripe
down your back
all nine yards
down her back

[chorus]
give me a couple
don’t give me a couple of pointers
turn to lies and conversation fear

[verse 2]
out to punch
right on target
twisting tongues
got a stripe
down your back
all nine yards
down her back
[chorus]
give me a couple
don’t give me a couple of pointers
turn to lies and conversation
what is in my mind? i can’t say it
what is in my mind? i can’t understand you

[bridge [?]]
i was a young boy and there was this old man at sea
it took about, eight houses and a body and brains
obsessed with bodies and with the building the systems
scrimmage, call it

[verse 3]
out to punch
right on target
twist his tongue, tongue
got a stripe
down your back
all nine yards
down her back

[chorus]
give me a couple
don’t give me a couple of pointers
turn to lies and conversation fear, ooh
