R.e.m. Magnetic North Lyrics

It's a Tokyo street seatfast action jump-cutting your
head
and you'd sooner dream it than live right here and face
it instead.
Well you've paced to your family and friends
I cannot make amends
as I sat in your car and tried to take you into staying

(Chorus of humming)

It's not cinematic enough
to rescue drowning bugs
from the pool where you swam as a kid
now I understand There is nothing wrong
with crossing the Rubicon
but you might wanna know who you're going to be
from this step on

(Chorus of humming)

Well the tiger boys and the tiger girls
confident, amazed
take you into their folk, there you go
with every butane move
every action packed
every clance epiphany
just don't look back

(Chorus of humming)
