R.E.M. – Undertow Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: New Adventures In Hi-Fi

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



I know what I wanted
I know what I wanted
I know how I wanted this to be

You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And I,m not sprouting wings

I,m drowning
Me
I,m drowning
Me, yeah

Brother can you see those birds?
They don,t look to heaven
They don,t need religion, they can see

They go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
[ Undertow lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/undertow/ ]
And no one,s coming after me

(chorus)
I,m drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
Breathing ourselves
I,m drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah

You know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothing,s gonna save me, I can see

I can,t say I,m fearful
I can,t say I,m not afraid
But I am not resisting, I can see

I don,t need a heaven
I don,t need religion
I am in the place where I should be

I am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a body,s got to breathe

(repeat chorus 2x)
