(Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually re-enforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate)

Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues, gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back

Give me a couple
Don\'t give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear

Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues, gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back

Give me a couple
Don\'t give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation

What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?

(Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually re-enforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate Hesitate)

Got to punch right on target
Twisting tongues, gotta stripe down her back
All nine yards down his back

Give me a couple
Don\'t give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Conversation fear, conversation fear
Conversation fear

    YES Michael Stipe would have fallen within the autistic spectrum BUT YOKO SAYS kill rock stars for fame. the song was written by thurSTON MOORE for SONIC YOUTH but was 2 poppy. HOLE would sing it to COCO MOORE til brookelyn then shoot crack and liquid eyeliner 4 BREAKFAST. 2 THAT WE song he did put it out there. Music is really good in this song as well: Sonic Youth totally borrowed OR NOT. listen 4 rock LOBSTER.
