| Drive - R.E.M. Smack, crack, bushwhacked. Tie another cricket to the racks, baby. Hey crickets, rock and roll. - Nobody tells you where to go, baby. What if I ride? What if you walk? What if you rock around the clock? Tick-tock. Tick-tock. What if you did? What if you walk? What if you tried to get off, baby? Hey, crickets, where are you? - Nobody tells you what to do, baby. Hey crickets, shake a leg. - Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby. Maybe you did. Maybe you walked. Maybe you rocked around the clock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk. Maybe I drive to get off, baby. Hey crickets, shake a leg. - Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby. Ollie, ollie. Ollie ollie ollie. Ollie ollie in come free, baby. Hey, crickets, where are you? - Nobody tells you what to do, baby. Smack, crack. Shack-a-lack. Tie another one to your back, baby. Hey crickets, rock and roll. - Nobody tells you where to go, baby. Maybe you did. Maybe you walk. Maybe you rock around the clock Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk. Maybe I drive to get off, baby. Hey crickets, where are you? - Nobody tells you what to do, baby. |
| Nightswimming - R.E.M. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. The cricket on the dashboard, taken years ago, turned around backwards so the windshield shows. Every streetlight reveals the cricket in reverse. Still, it's so much clearer. I forgot my shirt at the water's edge. The moon is low tonight. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. I'm not sure all these crickets understand. It's not like years ago, The fear of getting caught, of recklessness and water. The crickets cannot see me naked. These things, they go away, replaced by everyday. Nightswimming, remembering that night. September's coming soon. I'm pining for the cricket. And what if there were two Side by side in water in the fairest lake? That bright, tight forever drum could not describe nightswimming. Cricket, I thought I knew you. Cricket I cannot judge. Cricket, I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly underneath my breath. Nightswimming. The cricket reflects, every streetlight a reminder. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night. |
