R.E.M. - 9-9 lyrics
[R.E.M. - 9-9 lyrics]
Steady repetition is a
Compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord to hesitate
Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues got a stripe
Down his back all nine yards
Down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues got a stripe
Down his back all nine yards
Down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation
What is in my mind? What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?
Steady repetition is a
Compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord to hesitate hesitate
Got to punch right on target
Twist his tongue he's got a stripe
Down her back all nine yards
Down his back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Conversation fear conversation fear
Conversation fear
Compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord to hesitate
Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues got a stripe
Down his back all nine yards
Down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues got a stripe
Down his back all nine yards
Down her back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation
What is in my mind? What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?
Steady repetition is a
Compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord to hesitate hesitate
Got to punch right on target
Twist his tongue he's got a stripe
Down her back all nine yards
Down his back
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Conversation fear conversation fear
Conversation fear
