grabbed me up by the back of the neck
and shook me down to the floor
through my shoes, to the floor, to the core of the earth
I muttered something, swallowed some air
science, miracles, monkeys, or prayer.
I’ll believe in anything when I’m there
I’m certain I’ve said that before
I’ll believe in anything when I’m there
I’m certain I’ve said that before."
Michael Stipe
[Hey man, I’m making moves, and I am so much stronger than you
I am so much stronger, I’m much stronger than you
Everybody thinks the way that we thought, we thought ahead and look what we got
I did not invent this world, all my words a string of pearls
but you will find the sea, it loses all its luster]
