R.E.M - Supernatural Superserious

Everybody here comes from somewhere
that they would just as soon forget
and disguise

At the summer camp where you volunteered
no one saw your face
no one saw your fear
if that apparition had just appeared
took you up and away from this base and sheer humiliation
of your teenage station

Nobody cares
no one remembers
and nobody cares

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive! He's alive!
Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

If you call out "safe" then I'll stop right away
If the premise buckles and the ropes start to chafe
the details smart but the story's the same
you don't have to explain
you don't have to explain
humiliation of your teenage station

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive! He's alive!
yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you
realised your fantasies are
dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets
Uh
Uh

Everybody here comes from somewhere
that they would just as soon forget
and disguise

Yeah you cried and you cried
He's alive! He's alive!
Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird
don't be afraid, I will hold you near

From the seance where you first betrayed
an open heart on a darkened stage

A celebration of your teenage station

This inexperienced, sweet, delirious, supernatural, superserious
Inexperienced, sweet, delirious, supernatural, superserious
