REM - So Fast, So Numb lyrics

rate me

Movin' through rough waters motel boy,<br>And swimming in your sleep.<br>How could I be so blind, mis-sighted,<br>Not to see there's something wounded deep.<br><br>Anyone could scratch your surface now,<br>It's all amphetamine<br>You're blasting yourself into the present<br>Learn some vast indignity, stay that,<br><br>You say that you hate it<br>You want to re-create it<br>I've been around, I've been your lover.<br>I let it go at kill devil hill,<br>You're coming onto something so fast, so numb<br>That you can't even feel.<br><br>You're drinking the wrong dream now baby,<br>You do-si-do, saddo<br>You're you in cartilage, shark-eyed, shock horror, all present tense,<br>And boy your blood is running cold.<br>Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me,<br>This is what I wanted you to see.<br>That was then, was that, that is gone, this is past,<br>You cast yourself cast, passed by, gone down fast.<br><br>You say that you hate it.<br>You want to recreate it.<br>I've played this round, I've played your lover.<br>I've played it out to the hilt.<br>You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb<br>That you can't even feel.<br><br>You love it. you hate it.<br>You want to re-create it.<br>Now, this is here, this is me.<br>This is what I wanted you to see.<br>That was then, was that, that is gone.<br>That is what I wanted you to feel.<br><br>You love it. you hate it.<br>You spit it out, the bitter pill.<br>I've been around, I've been your lover<br>I let it go at kill devil hill.<br>You're coming onto something so fast, so numb<br>That you can't even feel.<br><br>I've played this round, I've played your lover.<br>I've played it out to the hilt.<br>You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb<br>That you can't even feel.<br><br>You played around, you played me lover,<br>I let it go at kill devil hill,<br>You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb<br>That you can't even feel.
