r.e.m. - the wake-up bomb lyrics

i look good in a glass pack
i look good and mean
i look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
i scud along the horizon
i drink some sweet tree tea
i get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
i like being seen
i look good with my drink eat no sleep
take a leap, longevity
i get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
i'm in deep

my head's on fire in high esteem
carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
oh, the wake-up bomb
oh, the wake-up bomb
oh, the wake-up bomb
oh, the wake-up bomb
my head's on fire in high esteem
get drunk and sing along to queen
practice my t-rex moves and make the scene
carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

i had to knock a few buildings over
i make an ugly mess
i had to blow a gasket, drop transmission
i had to decompress
i had to write the great american novel
i had a neutron bomb
i had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
i wake up (i wake up)
i wake up (i wake up)
i threw up when i saw what i'd done

oh, the wake-up bomb
oh, the wake-up bomb
my head's on fire in high esteem
get drunk and sing along to queen
practice my t-rex moves and make the scene
yeah, i'd rather be anywhere doing anything

i've had enough, i've seen enough, i've had it all, i'm giving up
i won the race, i broke the cup, i drank it all, i spit it up
again
i've had enough, i've seen enough, i've had it all, i'm giving up
i won the race, i broke the cup, i drank it all, i spit it up

yeah, atomic, supersonic
what a joke, i'm dumb
see ya, don't wanna be ya
lunch meat, pond scum

my head's on fire in high esteem
get drunk and sing along to queen
practice my t-rex moves and make the scene
yeah, i'd rather be anywhere doing anything
yeah, i'd rather be anywhere doing anything
yeah, i'd rather be anywhere doing anything
