r.e.m. - tongue - live in chicago / 1995 lyrics

[verse 1]
call my name, here i come
ninety to nothing, watch me run
you call
i am ashamed to say
ugly girls know their fate
anybody can get laid
you want a room with a fire escape
i want to tell you how much i hate this
don’t lay that stuff all over me
[chorus]
it pains me
please just leave it

[verse 2]
i should toss that vanity license plate
toss that make+up+painted face
box those poems, chocolate cake
scratch that name on the record player
please just leave it
don’t lay that stuff all over me
it crawls all over
all over me, uh

[bridge]
call my name, here i come
your last ditch lay, will i never learn?
caramel turn on a dusty apology
it crawls all over me
you turn all over

[chorus]
it pains me
please just leave it
yeah, please
[outro, spoken]
thanks
can everybody hear everything okay?
i’m gonna take that as a “yes”
okay
this next song is like+ um+
i picked a character out of history
i didn’t write the music, i wrote the words
picked a character out of history to represent
ulysses on his journey to+ um+
kind of a discovery of+ you know+
like, nirvana or spirituality or
trying to figure out if there’s a heaven
i don’t know if any of you+ y’know+
if you have like, some kind of ritual involving muhammed or jesus or anybody, but at any rate, they’re all men, i just realized that
that’s kind of sick, isn’t it?
at any rate, this is a song about, y’know, heaven
