Auctioneer (Another Engine)

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

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town

Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent



Listen, listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another engine.



We never wrote the reasons that I need explained

Some things are givens, and others get away

This time its for myself you call it what you may

Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more



Listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another engine.

Listen to the bargain holler. Listen to the barter holler.

Listen to the auctioneer.



Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, and I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent



Listen, listen to the auctioneer. Another engine, another engine.

Another engine, another engine. Another...



Do I stand the bargain holler? Listen to the barter holler.
