R.E.M. - The Boy In The Well Lyrics






Look at this, it's me, walking away.
Look at you drowning, on display.
Every time I've dropped by, I've tried to say
The water is rising.
You don't want to stay.

It's that sinking feeling. you know what it's bringing on.
You might as well say it,
I see it, I feel it.
This town is going wrong.
It's turning away.

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful
I'd like for them to take me on ...

The track mall gang went off
On the Tennessee goth. a lunar moth,
You chrysalis and flail.
The water is rising. you try to rappel.
A rousing cheer for the boy in the well.

It's that sinking feeling. you know what it's bringing on.
You might as well say it,
I see it, I feel it.
This town is going wrong.
It's turning away.

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful
I'd like for them to take me on ...

Here is where I look back.
Here is where you fell.
This is where I got up,
Shaking off my tail
This is where your rope trick
Started to look stale.
A greyhound pass for the boy in the well.

It's that sinking feeling
You know what it's bringing on
I might as well say it.
I see it, I feel it
This town is going wrong.
It's turning away.

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful
I'd like for them to take me on

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be
My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed
It's beautiful
I'd like for them to take me on

  1. v.... G....

    beautiful : REM of my heart

  2. k.... t....

    This is REM's worst album . And this song sucks.

    k.... t....

    Yeah they seemed jaded and uninterested throughout the whole album.

    k.... t....

    @George Clancy I wouldn't say quite the whole album. Leaving New York works really well and Aftermath has some energy to it that the others lack. But it's definitely their weakest.

    k.... t....

    no, your mother sucks.

  3. g.... q....

    Que atmosfera dramatica ........................ maestros !!!

  4. K.... k....

    Excellent!!!!

  7. E.... M....

    Great!!! Rem forever

  8. G.... R....

    Perché hanno tolto il video?? Era bellissimo cavolo!

  9. R.... P....

    rem!! como quisiera ver esta banda en vivo alguna vez..

  10. L.... ....

    To me, this is the Bystander Syndrome song. All that's required for needless tragedy to occur is for people to just sit back and do nothing.

    L.... ....

    Maybe it is somebody who has given there all to a cause and simply had enough to get personal sanity. As a very hard worker who has given everything to the perpetual ungrateful, I can relate clearly to this great song !

    L.... ....

    do nothing is paramount to life, it's were peace is

  11. P.... G....

    one of my fav song by them

  12. A.... R....
