"A shiver came quick

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]
