Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the room?
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Could this by three be ten? Honor marches on
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune

Are we grown way too far?
Taking after rain
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune

In my life

Ears that are still
Children of today on parade
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune

Shaking through, opportune
Shaking through, opportune

    is "yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way" the greatest lyric ever written? it might be. to me it's about amking a collective effort to get the most out of the lives of ourselve's and everyone we are in relationships with. or something like that. one of the great things about murmur is that u <i>feel</i> the meanings of the songs, u can't really put them into words...

    probably R.E.M. doesn't get a whole lot of posts, besides "great song"
