[Verse 1]
Now my suspicion's on the rise
I have known, I have known your kind
Please don't talk, don't make me think
Order up another drink
Let me let imagination drive

[Chorus]
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight

[Verse 2]
Listen to the devils in my ear
Tell me what, what I want to hear
You're so funny, you're so fine
You're so perfect, you're so mine
That I never had an opportunity to hide
No, I never had a chance

[Chorus]
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight

[Verse 3]
Look into my eyes
They hypnotize, the lights, the drinks
Let the music carry you away

[Verse 4]
My eyes are blurred
My sights are limited
Am I sensing a familiar twinge?

[Chorus]
Please don't speak
Make me think
It's all too deep
Imagination
Come alive, suspicion
Step down, I'll dream tonight
Step down, I'll dream
You're so naked baby
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream

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.
