(buck/mills/stipe)



I watched you fall
I think i pushed
Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe i'm innocent
Maybe i'm finished
Maybe i blacked out
How do i play this?

I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the jury wavering?
Do they know i sing?

Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
How do i
How do i play this?
Jealous lover, self desense
Protective brother, chemical dependence
I'll consult the i-ching
I'll consult the tv
Ouija, oblique strategies
I'll consult the law book for precedents
Can i charm the jury?

(chorus)
I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know i sing
That song?
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)

I watched you fall
I think i pushed
Maybe they'll see me
Maybe they'll say,
"i can see the truth in his statement
Smallpox blanket? no way"
Can i charm the jury, my defense?
Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe i loved you
Baby i loved you
Baby i loved you
Baby i'm finished

(repeat chorus)

I have given myself away
I have given my best today
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know i loved you?
Does she know i loved you?
Does she know i sing?
