r.e.m. - king of birds (live in greensboro, 1989) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a thumbnail sketch, a jeweler’s stone
a mean idea to call my own
old man, don’t lay so still, you’re not yet young, there’s time to teach
point to point, point observation (children carry reservations)

[chorus]
standing on the shoulders of giants
leaves me cold
leaves me cold
a mean idea to call my own
a hundred million birds fly

[verse 2]
singer, sing me a given
singer, sing me a song
standing on the shoulders of giants
everybody’s looking on

[chorus]
standing on the shoulders of giants
leaves me cold
a mean idea to call my own
a hundred million birds fly away

[post+chorus]
away
away
[verse 3]
i am the king of all i see
my kingdom for a voice
old man, don’t lay so still, you’re not yet young, there’s time to teach
point to point, point observation, children carry reservations

[chorus]
standing on the shoulders of giants
leaves me cold
leaves me cold
a mean idea to call my own
a hundred million birds fly away

[post+chorus]
away
away

[outro]
everybody hit the ground
everybody hit the ground
everybody hit the ground
everybody hit the ground
the water is evening out
catacombs are clear
thinning out
could you, for sure be strong
could you, for sure be strong
could you, for sure be strong
mhm
mhm
