R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

Look at this, it's me, walking away.
Look at you drowning, on display. 
Every time I've dropped by, I've tried to say
The water is rising.
You don't want to stay. 

It's that sinking feeling. you know what it's bringing on.
You might as well say it, 
I see it, I feel it. 
This town is going wrong. 
It's turning away. 

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful, 
I'd like for them to take me on...

The track mall gang went off
On the Tennessee goth. a lunar moth, 
You chrysalis and flail.
The water is rising. you try to rappel. 
A rousing cheer for the boy in the well. 

It's that sinking feeling. you know what it's bringing on.
You might as well say it, 
I see it, I feel it. 
This town is going wrong. 
It's turning away.

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful, 
I'd like for them to take me on...

Here is where I look back. 
Here is where you fell. 
This is where I got up,
Shaking off my tail 
This is where your rope trick
Started to look stale. 
A greyhound pass for the boy in the well. 

It's that sinking feeling 
You know what it's bringing on
I might as well say it.
I see it, I feel it
This town is going wrong.
It's turning away.

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful, 
I'd like for them to take me on...

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful, 
I'd like for them to take me on...
