R.E.M.

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?

Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

What is in my mind?

What is in my mind?

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?

Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down her back

all nine yards down his back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

Conversation fear. Conversation fear. Conversation fear
