Hope

R.E.M.

You want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
You know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of alligators.
You hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized.
You want to go forever
you see it in my eyes.
I'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you really don't believe it
and you hope it's getting better

You want to trust the doctors
their ------ is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess.
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled til Sunday night
they're saying dont be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it.
You lock into a pattern
and you know that its the last ditch
you're trying to see through it and it doesnt make sense
and you're empty
but they're saying dont by frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're hogtied and accepting of
the struggle.

You want to trust religion
and you know its allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story.
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope that its a spaceship
and its something srom your childhood
you're thinking dont be frightened.

You want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever.
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever.
and you want to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something reptile.
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
and you want to bridge the schizm,
a built-in mechanism to protect you.
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
'cause you want to climb the ladder
you want to go forever.
