R.e.m. - Can't Get There from Here lyrics

[Verse 1] When the world is a monster bad to swallow you whole Kick the clay that holds the teeth in, throw your trolls out the door If you're needing inspiration, Philomath is where I go by dawn Lawyer Jeff, he knows the lowdown, he's mighty bad to visit home [Chorus] (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here[x3] [Verse 2] When your hands are feeling empty, stick head jumping off the ground round Tris is sure to shirr the deer out, Brother Ray can sing my song [Chorus] [Verse 3] Hands down, Calechee bound, landlocked, kiss the ground Dirt of seven continents going round and round Go on ahead, Mr. Citywide, hypnotized, suit-and-tied Gentlemen, testify If your world is a monster bad to swallow you whole Philomath, they know the lowdown, throw your trolls out the door [Chorus] (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here[x7]
