Binky the Doormat Songtext
von R.E.M.

This is horror movie stuff.
The muffin is peach, you′re 'makin′ love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
She's a girl and she′s loving me.
But distance is my tendency.
I am defeated.

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)


If I′m your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can′t find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.
Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You've got sauce, but you don′t have knees.
Now look who's asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)

Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
Easily defeated.
Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
Seconal and astroglide.
Fuck with me and traumatize.
Don′t you see i love your hide?
All the beauty that's trapped inside.
Can't you see i love your hide?
Can′t you see i love your hide?
Can′t you see it?


Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

Go away, go away, go away, go away,
Go away, go away
