[Verse 1]
I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new patterned shirt
I pass satellites
"You're so bitter," your complaint
I can't give you anything
I don't know who you're living for
I don't who you are anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

[Chorus]
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

[Verse 2]
I move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
I move across the room with a heart full of gloom
I'm stronger than you think
Oh, my peer, your veneer
Is wearing thin and cracking
The surface informs underneath
Underneath is lacking

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

[Chorus]
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

[Verse 3]
You move across, innocence lost
All static and desire
You're blue in the face from navel gaze
You set yourself on fire
You strip down and lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it
But are you tired and naked?
Oh, are you tired and naked?
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

[Chorus]
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

R.E.M.

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.
