Mike’s Pop Song (demo) Songtext
von R.E.M.

You call me on the phone
You say you′re not alone
And will I take you away
Away from all the noise
From other nasty boys
Who want to kiss you
Afraid, afraid of what they'll see
Of who you just might be
If they look closely in town
You lost your way
That′s how you lost your way

So run, run and hide
From all the beasties that go bump in the night
Run, run and hide
From all the noise
From all the nasty boys
That keep you running


You, you that slipped away
There's no more glory days
Where is the cheering now?
Now you live your past
It's caught you out at last
If you weren′t looking behind
Behind you all the time
Waiting there in line
With all the others
It′s how you lost your way
That's how you lost your way

So run, run and hide
From all the beasties that go bump in the night
Run, run and hide
From all the noise
From all the nasty boys
That keep you running

Now the cares have lined your face
You had a special pace
What happened to it?
Things, the things you left behind
Weigh heavy on your mind
Why did you do it?
It′s how you lost your way
That's how you lost your way
You rolled the dice
You should have thought twice
And now you got nowhere to turn to


So run, run and hide
From all the beasties that go bump in the night
Run, run and hide
From all the noise
From all the nasty boys
That keep you running

Run, run and hide
From all the creepies that go bump in the night
Run, run and hide
From all the noise
From all the nasty boys
That keep you running

Run, run and hide
From all the beats that go bump in the night
Run, run and hide
From all the noise
From all the nasty boys
That keep you running
