R.e.m. - Chorus & The Ring lyrics

Hey there now young one wholly, Swing along quote the scriptures, Keep them guessing which pit you crawled from Just defy it, just deny it, Was it fun? Your time has come What have you done? What have you done? That's when the insults start to sting You can't remember anything The chorus chiming The greek chorus, the machine of god, singin' It's the poison that in measures Brings illuminating vision It's the knowing with a wink That we expect in southern women It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea. That's when the insults start to sting You can't remember anything The chorus chiming, the greek chorus, The machine of god sing..... Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard Laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbirds sing Write the holy terror s** the marrow from the bone Singe your own wings burning books, You got the chorus and the ring That's when the insults start to sting You can't remember anything The chorus chiming, the greek chorus, The machine sings. That's when the insults starts to sting You can't remember anything The chorus chiming, the greek chorus, The machine sings. That's when the calibration brittle As a stick hits you The gold ring in the tar museum Che quevera wink, Gold ring Gold ring. Sing. Sing. Sing. Sing.
