R.E.M. Lyrics

1. How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us

Blood from a stone 
Water from wine 
Born under earplay design 
A stroke of bad luck, 
Wrong place, wrong time 
This flyer is out of the lime 

[chorus] 
The story is a sad one, told many times 
The story of my life in trying times 
Just add water, stir in lime 
How the west was won and where it got us 

Canary got trapped, the uranium mine 
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died 
A marker to mark where my tears run dry 
I cross it, bless it, alkali 

[repeat chorus] 

I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain 
Now I can't see anything 
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design 
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry 
I point my nose to the northern star, 
Watch the decline from a hazy distance 

[repeat chorus]
