Píseň: Sing For The Submarine

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Accelerate
It feels in dreams 
That everything is there for you 
The city breathes and pulses 
It's for you electron blue 


I knew that you could see right through it 
So this is where I give in to the machine 
Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull 
Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream) 


Oh... 


It's all here where I keep it 
It's all in the submarine 
It's all a lot less frightening 
than you would have had it be 
But that's the good news my darling 
It is what it's going to be 
So sing, sing for the submarine 


I tried to explain how it all begins 
How its all destroyed and built again 
I knew that you could not believe me 
But now you're here and it's different 
How the light shines in your eyes 
In every second or situ 
It's then that I realised 
That the world as we know it 
The High speed train 
We'll pick it all up and start again 


It's all here where I keep it 
It's all in the submarine 
It's all a lot less frightening 
than you would have had it be 
But that's the good news my darling 
It is what it's going to be 
So sing, sing for the submarine 


The city did not collapse in a shudder 
The rain it never came 
At least my confessions made you laugh 
I know it's a little crazed 
But these dreams... 
they seem so real to me 


It's all here where I keep it 
It's all in the submarine 
It's all a lot less frightening 
than you would have had it be 
But that's the good news my darling 
It is what it's going to be 
So sing, sing for the submarine 


So this is where you trust me 
And this where it begins 
It's all a lot less frightening 
Your tear you let it in 
Tyrel and his mechanical owl 
A moth disguised as a leaf... 
Don't tell me what tomorrow brings 
Climb into the hidden machine and 
sing sing sing sing sing sing 
sing sing for the submarine
