R.E.M. - High Speed Train Lyrics






When I look into your eyes.
Your drop like an anchor eyes.
I scudded and clipped the sky
Just shy of making it.

And you almost got away.
I told you I was afraid.
Did I really want to try
You're holding me to my claim

I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building

and you caught me on the sly
you've taken me by surprise.
you've mirrored my best disguise and
turned it back on me.

I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building

I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
To Berlin, Kyoto or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you

I'll bring you a big bouquet
I picked it myself today
it compliments your eyes
there's love at the end of the line

I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
I flail like the antelope
Who jumped from the building

I jump on a high speed train
I'll never look back again
To Berlin, Kyoto or Marseilles
I'd go anywhere for you

And that's what I always knew
I'd like to have hung the moon.
I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag.
Just us.

No war. no hate. no past.
It's real.
I'm here. I'm yours. I'm fast.
I'm long in the eye
I'm cry when I try
I just want to fly
Just you and I, together

R.E.M. High Speed Train Comments
  1. 2.... ....

    Unbelievably emotional song

  2. l.... ....

    When I saw R.E.M. live in Paris in February 2005, Michael Stipe threw a bunch of papers and I grabbed one. The lyrics of this song were printed on it.

  3. J.... D....

    Best with "around the sun" song from the album <3
    "If hatred comes on me tomorrow I ll still be following your light"

  4. w.... l....

    Great song, and one that could have been a very serviceable James Bond theme...

  5. r.... u....

    Una de las mejores banda de lis ultimo 35 añod

  6. E.... R....

    Thanks,(3th.5.2018)!

  7. M.... G....

    Reminds me of OK Computer by Radiohead

  8. L.... ....

    This song always makes me think of Murasa Minamitsu for some reason. Great song.

    L.... ....

    The distorted drums do give me nautical vibes, like heavy labor going on in the basement of a ship. The Mediterranean guitar part at 2:30 doesn't help in not giving seaside vibes too.

  9. d.... g....

    Love the sound of the lonely tom drum. Sounds a bit " out of tune", suits the song ...

    d.... g....

    +didier genin Reminds me of Climbing up the Walls from OK Computer by Radiohead

    d.... g....

    was literally just listening to that before coming here and thought the same thing

  10. G.... ....

    mm... as for my taste, two greats gone, two yet left: REM and INXS (seriously, the nowadays INXS is a joke) gone, DM and U2 still kicking the dust. Haven´t heard anything worthwile from/about another two greats - OMD and Simple Minds...

    G.... ....

    Who even puts DM and U2 in the same sentence? They have zero to do with each other.

  11. C.... A....

    trip into my fucking sadness... saludos desde mexico.

  12. k.... ....

    360p's sound is better than 480p's sound.

  13. P.... ....

    Thank you R.E.M. added to a playlist...

  14. T.... ....

    why is the sidebar filled with wildlife video's?

  15. K.... K....

    the last great band
