R.E.M. – The Wakeup Bomb Lyrics  Share

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

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparound blackout tease
I scud along the horizon, I drink some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean
I like being seen
I look good with my drink-eat-no-sleep, take-a-leap longevity
I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
I^,m in deep

My head^,s on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head^,s on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
[ The Wakeup Bomb lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/wakeup-bomb/ ]
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I^,d done

Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head^,s on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I^,d rather be anywhere doing anything

I^,ve had enough, I^,ve seen enough, I^,ve had it all, I^,m giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I^,ve had enough, I^,ve seen enough, I^,ve had it all, I^,m giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
Yeah, atomic, supersonic
What a joke, I^,m dumb
See ya, don^,t wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum

My head^,s on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I^,d rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I^,d rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I^,d rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah
