R.E.M. lyrics : "Burning Down"

From the back of my neck, oh oh oh
Wired a glass jaw, oh oh
Plantation burning your boat is coming in

Strum your jew's-harp, you're reeking gin

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under but they've got your goat
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound


Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
His story's timely, oh oh oh

What river is it anyway, radio
Not in a boat, in your ear


Running water in a sinking boat
Going under but they've got your goat
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

You pick your island in the sun

Take your island off he's got a gun
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound


He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty, oh oh oh

You can pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he's got a gun


Running water in a sinking boat
Going under but they've got your goat
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound

Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
