Sing For The Submarine - R.E.M.

It feels in dreams

That everything is there for you

The city breathes and pulses

It’s for you electron blue

I knew that you could see right through it So this is where I give in to the machine

Lift up your voice feel gravity’s pull

Drown out the siren’s ring (or silent dream)

Oh…

It’s all here where I keep it It’s all in the submarine

It’s all a lot less frightening

Than you would have had it be But that’s the good news my darling

It is what it’s going to be So sing, sing for the submarine

I tried to explain how it all begins

How its all destroyed and built again

I knew that you could not believe me But now you’re here and it’s different

How the light shines in your eyes

In every second or situ

It’s then that I realised

That the world as we know it The High speed train

We’ll pick it all up and start again

It’s all in the submarine

It’s all a lot less frightening

Than you would have had it be But that’s the good news my darling

It is what it’s going to be So sing, sing for the submarine

The city did not collapse in a shudder

The rain it never came

At least my confessions made you laugh

I know it’s a little crazed

But these dreams…

They seem so real to me It’s all here where I keep it It’s all in the submarine

It’s all a lot less frightening

Than you would have had it be But that’s the good news my darling

It is what it’s going to be So sing, sing for the submarine

So this is where you trust me And this where it begins

It’s all a lot less frightening

Your tear you let it in Tyrel and his mechanical owl

A moth disguised as a leaf…

Don’t tell me what tomorrow brings

Climb into the hidden machine and

Sing sing sing sing sing sing

Sing sing for the submarine
