Chorus and the Ring R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
Hey there now young wholly, swing along
Quote the scriptures, keep them guessing
Which pit you crawled from
Just defy it, just deny it
Was it fun?
Your time has come
What have you done?
What have you done?

[Chorus]
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God singing

[Verse 2]
It's the poison that in measures brings
Illuminating vision
It's the knowing with a wink that we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea

[Chorus]
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God ring
