Fretless - R.E.M.

He’s got his work and she comes easy

They each come around when the other is gone

Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between

I wouldn’t confide in the Prodigal Son

The die has been cast, the battle is won

The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun

I couldn’t admit to a minute of fun

They come and they come and they come and they come

I accepted with a gentle tongue

No words spoken, no need to speak

Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell

Tether that ring and phrase

Enough with the rifle and talk already

We all know what it means

Take this conversation to your great divide

I can only swallow what I ate

And I don’t hate him

And I don’t hate her

They come and they come and they come and they come

I accepted with a gentle tongue

No heart broken, no need to speak

(Don't talk to me)

Don’t talk to me about being alone

(Don't talk to me)

Don’t talk to me about being alone

(Don't talk to me)

Don’t talk to me about being alone

Reach for each other before you leave

Reach peace with a E-A-see

Don’t threaten me with a gentle tease

Don’t threaten me with angry

Please, please, please

Don’t try to tell me what I am

(Talk to me)

Don’t talk to me

(Talk to me)

Don’t talk to me
