Diminished — текст песни (R.E.M)

(Buck/Mills/Stipe)



I watched you fall
I think I pushed
Maybe I`m crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe I`m innocent
Maybe I`m finished
Maybe I blacked out
How do I play this?

I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the jury wavering?
Do they know I sing?

Maybe I`m crazy
Maybe diminished
How do I
How do I play this?
Jealous lover, self desense
Protective brother, chemical dependence
I`ll consult the I-Ching
I`ll consult the TV
Ouija, oblique strategies
I`ll consult the law book for precedents
Can I charm the jury?

(chorus)
I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know I sing
That song?
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

I watched you fall
I think I pushed
Maybe they`ll see me
Maybe they`ll say,
I can see the truth in his statement
smallpox blanket? No way
Can I charm the jury, my defense?
Maybe I`m crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe I loved you
Baby I loved you
Baby I loved you
Baby I`m finished

(repeat chorus)

I have given myself away
I have given my best today
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know I loved you?
Does she know I loved you?
Does she know I sing?
