r.e.m. - cuyahoga (unplugged, live 2001) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
let’s put our heads together
to start a new country up
our father’s father’s father tried
erased the parts he didn’t like
let’s try to fill it in
bank the quarry river, swim
we knee+skinned it you and me
we knee+skinned that river red

[chorus]
this is where we walked
this is where we swam
take a picture here
take a souvenir
[verse 2]
this land is the land of ours
this river runs red over it
we knee+skinned it you and me
we knee+skinned that river red
we gathered up our friends
bank the quarry river, swim
we knee+skinned it you and me
up underneath the river bed

[chorus]
this is where we walked
this is where we swam
take a picture here
take a souvenir
cuyahoga’s gone
cuyahoga’s gone

[bridge]
let’s put our heads together
to start a new country up
up underneath the river bed
we’ll burn the river down

[chorus]
this is where they walked, swam
hunted, danced and sang
take a picture here
take a souvenir
cuyahoga’s gone
cuyahoga’s gone
[verse 3]
rewrite the book, we rule the pages
saving face, secured in faith
bury, burn the waste behind you
this land is the land of ours
this river runs red over it
we are not your allies
we cannot pretend

[chorus]
this is where we walked
this is where we swam
take a picture here
take a souvenir
cuyahoga is gone
cuyahoga, gone

[outro]
cuyahoga’s gone
cuyahoga, gone

[outro, spoken]
thank you
