1.Crush With Eyeliner(Album Version)

Lyricist:Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck
Writer(s):Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck

I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman-child
Oh my kiss breath turpentine

I am smitten
I'm the real thing(I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner

I'm in like
I'm infatuated
It's all too much pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude?(You faker)
How can I convince her?(Faker)
That I'm invented, too, yeah

I am smitten
I'm the real thing(I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
And you know me

She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention(She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah(Life is strange)
What can I make myself be?(Fake her)
To make her mine?

I am smitten
I'll do anything(I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
You know me(Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
I'm the real thing(I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner


2.Fall On Me(Live)

Lyricist:Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck
Writer(s):Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck

There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

Don't fall on me(What is it up in the air for)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(If it's there for long)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(It's over it's over me)(It's gonna fall)

There's the progress we have found(when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem(when the children reign)
Building towered foresight(keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all(melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

(repeat chorus)

Don't fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky.

(repeat chorus, etc.)


3.Me In Honey(Live)

Lyricist:Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck
Writer(s):Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck

I sat there looking ugly
Looking ugly and mean
I knew what you were saying
You were saying to me

Baby's got some new rules
Baby said she's had it with me
It seems a shame to waste your time on me
It seems a lot to waste your time for me

Left me to love
What it's doing to me

There's a lot of honey in this world
Baby this honey's from me
You've got to do what you do
Do it with me
It seems a shame to waste your time for me

Left me to love
What it's doing to me

Knocked silly
Knock flat
Sideways down
These things they pick you up
and they turn you around
Say your piece
Say you're sweet for me
It's all the same to share the pain with me
It's all the same, save the shame for me

Left me to love
What it's doing to me

Baby's got some new rules
Baby says she's had it with me
There's a fly in the honey
And baby's got a baby with me
That's a part
That's a part of me

Left me to love
What it's doing to me
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
What about me?
What about me?


4.Finest Worksong(Live)

Lyricist:Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck
Writer(s):Bill BerryMichael StipeMike MillsPeter Buck

The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour, your finest hour

Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not, beg to rhyme(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your horn) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song)
Your finest hour(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour
