R.E.M. Fables / E-bow The Letter

Murmur · 08.08.2023 21:36

So, ein weiterer, in mï¿½hsamer Kleinarbeit getippter Songtext. Diesmal ist es (ï¿½berraschung!) E-bow the Letter.

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise.
The bus ride, I went to write this, four a.m., this letter.
Fields of poppies, little pearls.
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed each and everyone a little scary,
I said your name.

I wore it like a badge of teen age film stars,
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is.
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far.
This star thing, I don't get it.

Aluminium, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, pulls us near
It tastes like fear.

Will you live to eighty-three?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink.
Here comes the flood.
Anything to thin the blood, these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet.
Phone, eat it, drink.
Just another chink,
Cuts and dents, they catch the light.
Aluminium, the weakest link.

I donï¿½t wanna disappoint you
Iï¿½m not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet, but this is the sickest move
I wear my own crown in sadness and sorrow
And whoï¿½d have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, here we go again

Aluminium, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, pulls us near
It tastes like fear, it pulls us near

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
I canï¿½t look it in the eye
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe,
Kerosene cherry flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear. I got it.

Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
Tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
It tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
It tastes like fear, pulls us near.
Nearer, nearer.
I'll take you there, I'll take you there,
I'll take you there, I'll take you there...

Ich meine mit mï¿½hsamer Kleinarbeit, dass ich, um das zu schreiben, diesen song etwa 1000 mal gehï¿½rt habe. Wï¿½hrend des Schreibens natï¿½rlich auch.
Falls du meintest, ich hï¿½tte den text von Hand darein geschrieben, verstehst du mich schrecklich falsch.^^

E-Bow The Letter (incl. Patti's Part)

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near

I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near

I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near

I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

Pulls us near
Tastes like fear.

Nearer, nearer
Over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there..
There, there, baby, yeah
