Losing My Religion - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999 Songtext
von R.E.M.

You people are real people, I can really tell
That′s the truth
I can feel you, I can hear you, I can smell you
I can taste you
I really, really like it

Oh life, it's bigger
It′s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That′s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don′t know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much
I haven′t said enough


I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I′ve said too much
I set it up

Consider this, consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed

What if all these fantasies come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I, I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream


That′s me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I′ve said too much
I haven′t said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why cry?
That was just a dream, just a dream
Just a dream, dream

Thank you very much
