Fall On Me (Unplugged, Live 1991) R.E.M.

[Intro, spoken]
This may well be my favorite song in the R.E.M. catalog, and here it is

[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
There's the problem, feathers, iron
Bargain buildings, weights, and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground
Before the weight can leave the air

[Pre-Chorus 1: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And tell the sky, and tell the sky

[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (It's gonna fall) (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (It's gonna fall) (If it's there for long)
Fall on me (It's gonna fall) (It's over, it's over me)

[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
There’s thе progress we have found
A way to talk around thе problem
Building towered foresight
Isn’t anything at all

[Pre-Chorus 2: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky
And bleed the sky and tell the sky
