R.E.M. – Hairshirt Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: Green

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it^,s all been said before

I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
It^,s easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire

I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
[ Hairshirt lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/hairshirt/ ]
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone, so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It^,s a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog^,s life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I^,ve searched for this

Here I am, here I am in your life
It^,s a beautiful life
My life
It^,s a beautiful life
Your life
