Testo How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us - R.E.M.
Testo della canzone How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us (R.E.M.), tratta dall'album New Adventures In Hi-Fi (Remastered)
Blood from a stone
Water from wine
Born under an ill-placed sign
A stroke of bad luck
Wrong place, wrong time
This flyer is out of the line
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
Aah!
The canary got trapped in the uranium mine
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
I cross it, bless it, alkaline
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
Aah!
I didn't wear glasses 'cause I thought it might rain
Now I can't see anything
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design
I point my nose to the northern star
And watch the decline from a hazy distance
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
Aah!
