(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

|
|
Blood from a stone
|
Water from wine
|
Born under earplay design
|
A stroke of bad luck,
|
Wrong place, wrong time
|
This flyer is out of the lime
|
|
(chorus)
|
The story is a sad one, told many times
|
The story of my life in trying times
|
Just add water, stir in lime
|
How the west was won and where it got us
|
|
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine
|
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died
|
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
|
I cross it, bless it, alkali
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain
|
Now I can't see anything
|
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design
|
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry
|
I point my nose to the northern star,
|
Watch the decline from a hazy distance
|
|
(repeat chorus)
