Star 69 — текст песни (R.E.M.)

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



You don`t have to take the bar exam to see
What you`ve done is ignoramus 103
What`ve I got to hang my hat on
You don`t have a pot to pee in
All this just to be your friend
I was there until the end
Extortion and arson, petty larceny

(chorus)
I know you called, I know you called, I know you called
I know you called, I know you called, I know you hung up my line
Star 69

I know all about the warehouse fire
I know squirrelys didn`t chew the wires
3 people have my number
The other 2 were with me
I don`t like to tell-tell but I`m not your patsy
This time you have gone too far with me

(repeat chorus)

Why`d you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dork inside edition hard copy
I can`t be your character witness
I can`t be your alibi
Doorbell rings it`s the FBI
We learned spy vs. spy
You my friend, are guilty as can be

I know you called, I know you called, I know you called
I know you called, I know you called, I know you hung up my line
I know you called, I know you called, I know you called
I know you called, I know you called, I can`t be your alibi
Star 69
