The Wake up Bomb lyrics

Band: R.E.M.
Album: New Adventures In Hi fi
Song: The Wake up Bomb

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)



I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparound blackout tease
I scud along the horizon, i drink some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean
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 and 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 and 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
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
Yeah, atomic, supersonic
What a joke, i'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
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
Yeah
