R.E.M. Feat. Q-Tip The Outsiders Lyrics

you took me to the restaurant where we first met
you knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick tock, tick tock clock
when you told me what you knew.
lost in the moment, the day when the music stopped.
and I do remember you

DRAWING PATTERNS WITH A CORK ON THE TABLECLOTH
PROMISING VOLCANIC CHANGE OF PLOT
WHERE WILL THIS LEAD US? I'M SCARED OF THE STORM
THE OUTSIDERS ARE GATHERING. A NEW DAY IS BORN

I tried to tell you I am not afraid
you lokked up and saw it all across my face
so am I with you or am I against?
I dont think it's that easy, we 're lost in regret.
now I'm trying to remember the feeling when the music stopped.
when you told me what you knew.
lost in the moment, the day when the music stopped.
and I do remember you

DRAWING PATTERNS WITH A CORK ON THE TABLECLOTH
PROMISING VOLCANIC CHANGE OF PLOT
WHERE WILL THIS LEAD US? I'M SCARED OF THE STORM
THE OUTSIDERS ARE GATHERING. A NEW DAY IS BORN

DRAWING PATTERNS WITH A CORK ON THE TABLECLOTH
PROMISING VOLCANIC CHANGE OF THOUGHT
WHERE WILL THIS LEAD US? I'M SCARED OF THE STORM
THE OUTSIDERS ARE GATHERING. A NEW DAY IS BORN

THE OUTSIDERS ARE GATHERING. A NEW DAY IS BORN

THE OUTSIDERS ARE GATHERING.

a man walks away. when every muscle says to stay.
how many yesterdays? they each weigh heavy.
who says what changes may come. who says that we call home.
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades,
the dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid.
I've been a million times in my mind, and this is really just a technicality.
frailty. reality

uh. it's time to breathe, time to believe. let it go and run towards the sea.
thes don't teach that. they don't know what you mean.
they don't understand. they don't know what you mean.
they don't gt it. I want to scream
I want to breathe again. I want to dream.
I want to float a qoute from Martin Luther King.
I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid
I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID
