R.E.M. - Star 69 lyrics

You don't have to take the bar exam to see
What you've done is Ignoramus 103
What've I got to hang my hat on
You don't have a pot to pee in
All this just to be your friend
I was there until the end
Extortion and arson, petty larceny

I know you called, I know you called
I know you called
I know you called, I know you called
I know you hung up my line, star 69

I know all about the warehouse fire
I know squirrels didn't chew the wires
Three people have my number
The other two were with me
I don't like to tell tale
But I'm not your patsy
This time you have gone too far with me



I know you called, I know you called
I know you called
I know you called, I know you called
I know you hung up my line, star 69

Why'd you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dark Inside Edition
Hard Copy i can't be your character witness
I can't be your alibi
Doorbell rings, it's the FBI
We learned Spy vs spy
You, my friend, are guilty as can be

I know you called, I know you called
I know you called
I know you called, I know you called
I know you hung up my line
I know you called, I know you called
I know you called
I know you called, I know you called
I can't be your alibi, star 69
