R.E.M.



Automatic For The People



The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite





This here is the place I will be staying.



There isnt a number. You can call the pay phone.



Let it ring a long, long, long, long time.



If I dont pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more.



If I dont pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil







Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.







There are scratches all around the coin slot



Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up,



But this machine can only swallow money.



You cant lay a patch by computer design.



Its just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.







Tell her,



Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding.



That way shell know that its really, really, really, really me.







Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.







Baby, instant soup doesnt really grab me.



Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial.



A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,



A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss;







Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.







The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,



Always had a smile and a reason to pretend.



But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream.



The sidewinder sleeps on his back.







Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.



Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.



I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.



I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.







Weve got to moogie, moogie, move on this one.
