R.E.M. - E-Bow The Letter
C G/B
Look up what do you see all of you and all of me
Em Bm
Fluorescent and starry some of them they surprise
C G Em
The bus ride I went to write this 4AM this letter
Repeat chords for remaining verses
Fields of poppies little pearls all the boys and all the girls
Sweet-toothed each and every one a little scary
I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars hash bars cherry mash
And tinfoil tiaras dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far this star thing I don't get it
Chorus:
I'll take you over there
I'll take you over there
Aluminum tastes like fear
Adrenaline it pulls us near
I'll take you over there
It tastes like fear
I'll take you over
Will you live to 83 will you ever welcome me
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen
Smoke it drink
Here comes the flood anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone eat it
Drink just another chink
Cuts and dents they catch the light
Aluminum the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet but is that sickest move I wear my own crown
And sadness and sorrow and who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange
My loss here we go again
Chorus
I'll take you over there
I'll take you over there
Aluminum tastes like fear
Adrenaline it pulls us near
I'll take you over there
It tastes like fear it pulls us near
I'll take you over
Look up what do you see
All of you and all of me fluorescent and starry
Some of them they surprise
Well I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal spanish fly absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat the victory and sorrow
The smell thing I got it
Chorus
I'll take you over there
Aluminum tastes like fear
Adrenaline it pulls us near
I'll take you over take you there
Aluminum tastes like fear
Adrenaline it pulls us near
I'll take you over take you there
Tastes like fear
It pulls us near
I'll take you over take you there
It tastes like fear
It pulls us near
Pulls us near
It tastes like fear
Tastes like fear
Pulls us near
Pulls us near
Nearer, nearer
Over over over over over over there
Over oh there
Oh over over there
D
There there there, Oooh
