[Verse 1]
When we were little boys
When we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole
Open your mouth, a question

[Pre-Chorus]
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?

[Chorus]
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult

[Verse 2]
When we were little boys
When we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, open your mouth
We in step, in hand
Your mother remembers this
Hear the howl of the rope
A question

[Pre-Chorus]
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?

[Chorus]
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult

[Bridge]
The porch could be darker
The march could be darker

[Chorus]
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult

[Verse 3]
When we were little boys
When we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, open your mouth
We in step, in hand
Your mother remembers this
Hear the howl of the rope
A question

[Pre-Chorus]
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything?

[Chorus]
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult
Catapult (Catapult)
Catapult

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.
