REM - Harborcoat lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shivs on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "react"

(chorus 1)

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

She gathered the corners and called it her gown

(chorus 2)

Please find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shivs on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "react", R-E-A-C-T

(repeat chorus 2)

(repeat chorus 1)

She said

(repeat chorus 2)
