R.E.M. - Saturn Return lyrics

Easy to poke yourself square in the eye
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
