R.E.M. - Saturn Return lyrics
[R.E.M. - Saturn Return lyrics]
Harder to like yourself, harder to try
These Elvis poses postcards and neoprene
Roses a dollar a stem
Everyone sleeping or pulling a long haul
The keys in the cooler it's three AM
And Saturn is beckoning no-one
Is off on it's own is offering up
Late shift convenience store
Cut out the lights
Telescope roof towards the north-western sky
You pull the ladder up, no-ones the wiser
You find your sights and discover
Saturn is orbiting nothing
Is off on it's own is breaking from home
Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to take off
You found the ladder in the
Pattern of your wrist
You've seen and you've marked horizons
Mother was difficult, she made you cry
Cover the mirror, look to the sky
You climb into your rocketship Triumph
Lift up and hold out your hands
Saturn is orbiting nothing
Is off on it's own is breaking from home
Saturn is orbiting nothing
Is off on it's own is breaking from home
Saturn return when you chase down it's moons
Throw them into a new gravity
Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie
Easy to take off, harder to fly
Harder to wake Galileo
