R.E.M. lyrics : "Old Man Kensey"

(Ayers/Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter
First he's got to learn to read

He's gonna be a clown on TV
Flexes his elbow taunt and free
That's my folly, I believe

Drink up the lake Kensey's awake
That's my folly, that's my mistake


Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie
First he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount

Letters to be signed and dropped off
Kensey's going far
John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head

That's my folly, I'm ready to go

Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher

First he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to be signed ransom greed

That's my folly, I believe
Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed,
That's my folly, that's my mistake

Kensey's awake, stand on your head
That's my folly, I'm ready to go
