R.e.m. 9-9

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,

Twisting tongues gotta 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.

Now what does that mean?

Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep,

If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.

Got to punch...Right on target.

Twisting tongues gotta 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.

Conversation fear. Conversation fear.

Conversation fear.
