R.E.M. - The Wake Up Bomb lyrics

Your rating:

I look good in a glass pack.
I look good and mean.
I look good in metallic, sick wraparounds blackout tease.
I scud along the horizon
I drink some sweet tree tea.
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap.
I like being seen.
I look good with my drink, eat, no sleep,
Take a leap, longevity.
I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep.

My head's on fire and high esteem.
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything.
Oh, the wake-up bomb. Oh, the wake-up bomb.
Oh, the wake-up bomb. Oh, the wake-up bomb.
My head's on fire with high esteem.
Get drunk and sing along to Queen.
Practice my T-rex moves and make the scene.
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything.

I had to knock a few buildings over, I make an ugly mess.
I had to blow a gasket, drop transmission,
I had to decompress.
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb.
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21.
I wake up (I wake up) I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done.

Oh, the wake-up bomb. Oh, the wake-up bomb.
My head's on fire with high esteem.
Get drunk and sing along to Queen.
Practice my T-rex moves and make the scene.
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything.

I've had enough, I've seen enough,
I've had it all, I'm giving up.
I won the race, I broke the cup,
I drank it all, I spit it up again.
I've had enough, I've seen enough,
I had it all, I'm giving up.
Won the race, broke the cup,
Drank it all, spit it up.

Yeah, atomic, supersonic.
What a joke, I'm dumb.
See ya, don't wanna be ya.
Lunch meat, pond scum.
My head's on fire, in high esteem.
Get drunk and sing along to Queen.
Practice my T-rex moves and make the scene.
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything.
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything.
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything.
