R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant : Hyena
 

R.E.M.



Life's Rich Pageant



Hyena





Night time fell at the opening,



In the final act of the beginning of time.



Hyena take your role, the stage is set.



The town is safe again tonight







Hyena (I see the day ahead)



Hyena (and all that I've cried through)



Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)







Hyena, sister look to your hand



Man you serve communal interest,



She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt



A beautiful young lady







Hyena (I see the day ahead)



Hyena (and all that I've cried through)



Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)







The only thing to fear is fearlessness



The bigger the weapon the greater the fear



Hyena is ambassador to here







Night time fell like the closing



Meager pay, but recognition



Hyena crawls on his belly out



The town is safe again tonight







Hyena (I see the changes, man)



Hyena (Goin' on 'cross the way)



Hyena (I see my road ahead)



Hyena (Don't know if I should stay)



Hyena (I see you holding him,)



Hyena (and all that I've cried through)



Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
