Supernatural Superserious

R.E.M. · Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage - 1982 - 2011 [2011]

Everybody here

Comes from somewhere

That they would just as soon forget

and disguise



At the summer camp where you volunteered

No one saw your face, no one saw your fear

If that apparition had just appeared

Took you up and away from this base and sheer humiliation

Of your teenage station



Nobody cares

No one remembers and nobody cares



Yeah you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried



If you call out 'safe' then I'll stop right away

If the premise buckles and the ropes starts to chafe

The details smart but the story's the same

You don't have to explain

You don't have to explain humiliation

Of your teenage station



Yeah you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and

You realized your fantasies are

Dressed up in travesties

Enjoy yourself with no regrets, ah ah



Everybody here

Comes from somewhere

But they would just as soon forget

And disguise

Yeah you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried



Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird

Don't be afraid, I will hold you near

From the seance where you first betrayed

An open heart on a darkened stage

A celebration

Of your teenage station



Sad experience sweet, delirious

Supernatural superserious

Bad experience sweet, delirious

Supernatural superserious

Well
