REM - Hyena lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Night time fell at the opening,

In the final act of the beginning of time

Hyena take your role, the stage is set

The town is safe again tonight

(chorus)

Hyena (I see the day ahead)

Hyena (and all that I've cried through)

Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)

Hyena, sister look to your hand

Man you serve communal interest,

She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt

A beautiful young lady

(repeat chorus)

The only thing to fear is fearlessness

The bigger the weapon the greater the fear

Hyena is ambassador to here

Night time fell like the closing

Meager pay, but recognition

Hyena crawls on his belly out

The town is safe again tonight

Hyena (I see the changes, man)

Hyena (goin' on 'cross the way)

Hyena (I see my road ahead)

Hyena (don't know if I should stay)

Hyena (I see you holding him)

Hyena (and all that I've cried through)

Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
