Lyrics:

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)







(chorus 1)

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced

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, hesitate



(chorus 2)

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

All nine yards down her back



(chorus 3)

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear



(repeat chorus 2)



(repeat chorus 3)



What is in my mind?

What is in my mind?



(repeat chorus 1)



(repeat chorus 2)



(repeat chorus 3)



Conversation fear, conversation fear, conversation fear
