R.e.m. - Houston lyrics

[Verse] If the storm doesn't k** me the government will I've got to get that out of my head It's a new day today and the coffee is strong I've finally got some rest So a man's put to task and challenges I was taught to hold my head high Collect what is mine Make the best of what today has [Chorus] Houston is filled with promise Laredo is a beautiful place Galveston sings like that song that I loved Its meaning has not been erased [Bridge] And so there are claims forgiven And so there are things that are gone [Chorus] [Outro] And some things, they fall to the wayside Their memory is yet to be still Belief has not filled me And so i am put to the test
