Karaoké Find the River R.E.M.

Hey now little speedyhead

The read on the speed-meter says you have to go to task in the city

Where people drown and people serve

Don't be shy, your just desert is only just light years to go

Me my thoughts are flower strewn with ocean storm, bayberry moon

I've got to leave to find my way

Watch the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes

And nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal

A need to leave the water knows

We're closer now than light years to go

I have got to find the river

Bergamot and vetiver run through my head and fall away

Leave the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes

And nothing is going my way

There's no one left to take the lead but I tell you and you can see

We're closer now than light years to go

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean

The river to the ocean goes

A fortune for the undertow

None of this is going my way

There is nothing left to throw

Of ginger, lemon, indigo

Coriander stem and rose of hay

Strength and courage overrides the privileged and weary eyes of river poet search naiveté

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

All of this is coming your way
