R.e.m. - Let Me In lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah all those stars drip down like bu*ter And promises are sweet We hold out our pans with our hands to catch them We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up [Chorus] Hey, let me in Hey, let me in [Verse 2] I only wish that I could hear you whisper down Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around To say goodbye Nice try [Chorus] [Verse 3] I had a mind to try to stop you Let me in, let me in Well, I got tar on my feet And I can't see all the birds look down and laugh at me Clumsy, crawling out of my skin [Chorus][x2]
