E-bow the Letter Lyrics


Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 AM
This letter, fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary, I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas, whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it
I'll take you over, there, I'll take you over, there
(Aluminum, tastes like fear, there)

(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I'll take you over
(It tastes like fear, there)
I'll take you over
Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something
That nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow
Could be so strange?
My loss here we go again
I'll take you over, there, I'll take you over, there
(Aluminum, tastes like fear, there)
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I'll take you over
(It tastes like fear, there)
I'll take you over
Look up and what do you see?
All of you, all of me
And fluorescent and starry
And some of them, they surprise
And I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
I'll take you over, there
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I'll take you over, there
(Aluminum, tastes like fear)
(Adrenaline, it pulls us near)
I'll take you over, there
(It tastes like fear)
(It pulls us near)
I'll take you over
(I'll take you over)
It tastes like fear
(It pulls us near)
Pulls us near
(Tastes like fear)
Tastes like fear
(Nearer, nearer)
Pulls us near
Over, over, over, over
(Nearer, nearer)
Over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
(I'll take you there)
(I'll take you there)
Oh, over
(I'll take you there)
Over, let me
(I'll take you there)
(I'll take you there)
There, there, there, baby, yeah

R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
