Life And How To Live It (Live - Greensboro Coliseum, NC 11/10/1989)

R.E.M.
Album : Green (25th Anniversay Deluxe Edition)

Burn bright through the night
two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between
the wall was raised today
Two doors remain before
your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked
Take your happy home
My carpenter's out and running
about talking to the street
My pockets are out
and running about
Barking in the street to tell
what I have hidden there
Burn bright through the night
two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between
the wall was raised today
Raise the walls
and shout its flaws
a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one
side the other serves you best
My carpenter's out and running
about talking to the street
My pockets are out
and running about
Barking in the street to tell
what I have hidden there
The hills ringing
hear the words in time
Listen to the holler
listen to my walls
within my tongue
Can't you see you
made my ears go tin
The air quicken
Life
Raise the walls and shout its
flaws a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one
side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost
knock knock knock
A secret knock one hammer's
locked the other wisdom lost
My carpenter's out and running
about talking and the street
My pockets are out
and running about
Barking in the street to tell
what I have hidden there
My carpenter's out and running
about barking in the street
My pockets are out
and running about
Barking in the street to tell
what I have hidden there
listen to the holler
If I write a book it will be called
Life and How to Live It
