[Verse 1]
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock, but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head

[Chorus]
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside cold dark fire twilight
Inside cold dark fire twilight

[Verse 2]
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
She was laughing like a Horae
Without being sour landslide
Take the steps to dash a roving eye

[Chorus]
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside cold dark fire twilight
Inside cold dark fire twilight

[Verse 1]
Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head

[Chorus]
It's so much more attractive
Inside the moral kiosk
Inside cold dark fire twilight
Inside cold dark fire twilight

[Outro]
Inside cold dark fire twilight
Inside cold dark fire twilight

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.
