be mine

R.e.m.

( a speed zone up here too )

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I want to be your Easter bunny
I want to be your Christmas tree.

I ll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed.
I ll ply the tar out of your feathers.
I ll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
you and me.
you and me.

and if I choose your sanctuary
I want to wash you with my hair.
I want to drink of sacred fountains
and find the riches hidden there.

I ll eat the lotus and peyote.
I want to hear the caged bird sing.
I want the secrets of the Temple.
I want the finger with the ring.
you and me.
you and me.
you will see.

that if you make me your religion
I ll give you all the room you need.
I ll be the drawing of your breath.
I ll be the cup if you should bleed.

I ll be the sky above the Ganges
I ll be the vast and stormy sea.
I ll be the lights that guide you inward.
I ll be the visions you will see.

the visions you will see.

you will see.
you will see.
you and me.
you and me.
you and me.
