Artist/Band: R.E.M.
Lyrics for Song: King Of Birds
Lyrics for Album: Document [1987]



A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone

A mean idea to call my own

Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young

There's time to teach, point to point,

Point observation, children carry reservations

Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly



Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song

Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on

(Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young,

there's time to teach, point to point,

point observation, children carry reservations).

Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away, away.



I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice

Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young

There's time to teach, point to point

Point observation, children carry reservations

Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away



Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.
