[Verse 1]
You're on your ear, the ocean's near
The light has started to fade
Your high is timed, you found the climb
It's hard to focus on more than what's in front of you
Electron blue, adventure rings with a page
And when it dawns on you, it singes blue
Your buzz beginning to wane

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Adventure's laid its claim on you
It's all you want to do

[Chorus]
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue

[Verse 2]
And who am I? I'm just a guy
I've got a story like everyone
But in your eyes you looked surprised
And didn't know where to run
I looked to her, she's found the cure
Her future's already begun

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tomorrow's gaining speed on you
It's all you want to do

[Chorus]
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue

[Verse 3]
So bide your time, you'll feel the climb
Your high it builds like a lightning storm
It sings like pearls, you know that girl
And no one is any the wiser
So as if on cue, electron blue

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tomorrow's gaining speed on you
It's all you want to do

[Chorus]
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue
You, you know where to run
You run electron blue

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
