So Fast, So Numb - Live From St. James’s Church, London / 2004 R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
You're moving through rough waters, motel boy!
And swimming in your sleep
How could I be so blind, missighted
Not to see there's something wounded deep?
Well, anyone could scratch your surface now!
It's all amphetamine
You're blasting yourself into the present
To blur some past indignity, say that

[Pre-Chorus]
You say that you hate it
You want to recreate it

[Chorus]
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go, Kill Devil Hill
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel

[Verse 2]
You're drinking raw adrenal, baby
And do-si-do, saddo
You're eating cartilage, shark eyes, shark heart, all present tense
Boy, your blood is running cold
Listen! This is now! This is here! This is me!
This is what I wanted you to see!
That was then, was that, that is gone, that is passed
You cast yourself, cast passed by, thrown down fast
