Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
that they would just as soon forget
A disguise
At the summer camp where you volunteered
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
if that apparition had just appeared
Took you up and away
from this base and sheer
Humiliation
Of your teenage station
Nobody cares
no one remembers
and nobody cares
yeah you cried and you cried
he's alive he's alive
yeah you cried and you cried
and you cried and you cried
if you call out "safe"
then I'll stop right away
if the premise buckles
and the ropes start to chafe
The details smart
but the story's the same
You don't have to explain
You don't have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage station
yeah you cried and you cried
he's alive he's alive
yeah you cried and you cried
and you cried and you cried
realized your fantasies
are dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets
Everybody here
comes from somewhere
that they would just as soon forget
and disguise
yeah you cried and you cried
he's alive he's alive
yeah you cried and you cried
and you cried and you cried
now there's nothing
dark and there's nothing weird
don't be afraid i will hold you near
from the seance where you first betrayed
an open heart on a darkened stage
a celebration
of your teenage station
this
inexperience, sweet, delirious
supernatural, superserious
inexperience, sweet, delirious
supernatural, superserious
wow
You're on crack. Watch the video on youtube (the official R.E.M. video is at the top of the page when you search for this song) it has the lyrics. They are just like they had above.
I see this version of the song everywhere, and it was obviously written by someone who only passively listened to the song, because it's painfully inaccurate. I just fixed it over at LyricsMode, so here are the correct lyrics... or at least... correcter lyrics.
Everybody here,
Comes from somewhere,
That they would just as soon forget,
And disguise.
At the summer camp where you volunteered,
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear.
If that apparition just appeared,
Took you up and away from this place and shared
Humiliation,
Of your teenage station.
Nobody cares,
No one remembers and nobody cares.
And you cried and you cried,
You survived, you survived.
And you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried.
If you call out safe then I’ll stop right away,
If the premise buckles and the room starts to shake,
The details swap,
And the story's the same.
You don’t have to explain.
You don’t have to explain
Humiliation,
Of your teenage station.
Yeah you cried and you cried,
You survived, you survived.
And you cried and you cried and you cried,
And you realize your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties.
Enjoy yourself with no regrets.
Everybody here,
Comes from somewhere,
That they would just as soon forget,
And disguise.
And you cried and you cried,
You survived, you survived.
Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried.
Oh, you cried and you cried.
Oh, you cried and you cried.
Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird,
Don't be afraid, I will hold you near,
From the séance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage.
A celebration,
Of your teenage station.
It's an experience;
Sweet, delirious,
Supernatural, sperserious.
An experience,
Sweet, delirious,
Supernatural, superserious.
