REM – The boy in the well
Look at this, it´s me, walking away
Look at you drowning, on display
Every time I´ve dropped by, I´ve tried to say
The water is rising
You don´t want to stay
It´s that sinking feeling you know what it´s bringing on
You might as well say it,
I see it, I feel it
This town is going wrong
It´s turning away
You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I´ve never dreamed
It´s beautiful
I´d like for them to take me on
The track mall gang went off
On the Tennessee goth a lunar moth,
You chrysalis and flail
The water is rising you try to rappel
A rousing cheer for the boy in the well
It´s that sinking feeling you know what it´s bringing on
You might as well say it,
I see it, I feel it
This town is going wrong
It´s turning away
You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I´ve never dreamed
It´s beautiful
I´d like for them to take me on
Here is where I look back
Here is where you fell
This is where I got up,
Shaking off my tail
This is where your rope trick
Started to look stale
A greyhound pass for the boy in the well
It´s that sinking feeling
You know what it´s bringing on
I might as well say it
I see it, I feel it
This town is going wrong
It´s turning away
You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I´ve never dreamed
It´s beautiful
I´d like for them to take me on
You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I´ve never dreamed
It´s beautiful
I´d like for them to take me on
