REM - How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us

By popular request: over the years, MANY songs have been mentioned as seeming pertinent to our story. Some might show up in the soundtrack when the movie gets made. So, what songs do you think we should keep in mind? Each song can have its own thread in this forum, along with links to lyrics and/or YouTube files. Have fun.

REM - How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us

Post by natecull »

Just one more. Grief and hugs for the Manhattan Project and all that followed. For Raymond and Michael.

Canary got trapped the uranium mine
I struck bad luck now the bird has died
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
At the crossing of blessed and alkali

My story is a sad one told many times
A story of my life in trying times
Just add water stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us

I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain
Now I can't see anything
I made a mistake chalked it up to design
I crack through timespace godless and dry
I point my nose to the northern star
watch the decline from a hazy distance

My story is a sad one told many times
A story of my life in trying times
Just add water stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us

Aaaahhhh
Going on a journey, somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you, wonders never cease
