Kohoutek

R.E.M. · Fables Of The Reconstruction [1985]

Who will stand alone? She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Courage built a bridge, jealous tore it down

At least it's something you've left behind like Kohoutek, you were gone.

We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch

I won't deny myself, we never talked



She wore bangles, she wore bells on her toes and she jumped like a fish

Like a flyin' friend, you were gone like Kohoutek, can't forget that

Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down

If I am one to follow.. who will stand alone?



Maybe you're not the problem scissors, paper, stone

If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down

At least it's something you've left behind like Kohoutek, you were gone.



Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down

If I stand and holler...will I stand alone?
