Diminished

R.E.M.

5

I watched you fall.

I think I pushed.

maybe I'm crazy

maybe diminished

maybe I'm innocent

maybe I'm finished

maybe I blacked out.

how do I play this?

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anythig

is the jury wavering?

do they know I sing?

maybe I'm crazy

maybe diminished

how do I,

how do I play this?

jealous lover, self defense

protective brother, chemical

dependence.

I'll consult the i-ching

I'll consult the tv

ouija, oblique strategies.

I'll consult the law books for

precedents.

can I charm the jury?

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anything

is the justice wavering?

does she know I sing

that song?

sing along

sing along

sing along

(I will never hurt anything]

I watched you fall.

maybe they'll see me,

maybe they'll say,

"I can see the truth in his statement.

smallpox blanket? no way."

can I charm the jury, my defense?

maybe I'm crazy

maybe I'm diminished

maybe I loved you

baby I loved you

baby I loved you

baby I loved you

baby I'm finished.

I will give my best today

I will give myself away

I have never hurt anything

is the justice wavering?

does she know I sing

that song?

sing along

sing along

sing along

(I will never hurt anything)

I have given myself away

I have given my best today

I have never hurt anything

is the justice wavering?

does she know I loved you

does she know I loved you?

does she know I sing?
