R.E.M., Q-Tip - The Outsiders lyrics
[R.E.M., Q-Tip - The Outsiders lyrics]
You took me to the restaurant
Where we first met
You knocked a future shock
Crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock
Tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment the day
That the music stopped and I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against?
I don't think it's that easy
We're lost in regret
Now I'm trying to remember the
Feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment the day
That the music stopped and I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of thought
Where does this leave us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
A man walks away when every
Muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays? They each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me
My luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote
I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty
Reality
Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that
They don't know what you mean
They don't understand
They don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid, I am not afraid
I am not afraid i am not afraid, I am not
Afraid, I am not afraid, i am not afraid
Where we first met
You knocked a future shock
Crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock
Tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment the day
That the music stopped and I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against?
I don't think it's that easy
We're lost in regret
Now I'm trying to remember the
Feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment the day
That the music stopped and I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
Drawing patterns with a cork
On the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of thought
Where does this leave us
I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
A new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
A man walks away when every
Muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays? They each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me
My luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote
I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty

I am not afraid, I am not afraid
I am not afraid i am not afraid, I am not
Afraid, I am not afraid, i am not afraid
