The Outsiders by R.E.M.
Intro:
You took me to the restaurant where we first met
You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us - I m scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
(Chords are the same as 1st verse)
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against
I don t think it s that easy - we re lost in regret
Now I m trying to remember
The feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I m scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I m scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The outsiders are gathering
Chords for the rap:
RAP
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I ve been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality
Uh, it s time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don t teach that, they don t know what you mean
They don t understand, they don t know what you mean
They don t get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
END
