REM - Maps And Legends lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

Called the fool and the company,

On his own where he'd rather be

Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that?

(chorus)

Maybe he's caught in the legend,

Maybe he's caught in the mood

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood

Down the way the road's divided,

Paint me the places you have seen

Those who know what I don't know

Refer to the yellow, red and green

(repeat chorus)

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

The map that you painted didn't seem real

He just sings whatever he's seen

Point to the legend, point to the east,

Point to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,

Maybe he's caught in the mood

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood, been misunderstood

Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached

Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached

Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached anymore
