Píseň: Crush With Eyeliner

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Monster
I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman-child
Oh my kiss breath turpentine


I am smitten


I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner


I'm in like.
I'm infatuated.
It's all too much-the pressure.
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? (you faker)
How can I convince her? (Faker)
That I'm invented too, yeah


I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
and, uh, you know me


Yeah, she's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)
What can I make myself be (Fake her)
To make her mine?


I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine,
my crush with eyeliner


I am smitten
You know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
my crush with eyeliner


I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
