HOPE by REM

[Color]

Hope

You want to go out Friday & you want to go forever;
You know that it sounds childish
That you’ve dreamt of alligators...
You hope that we are with you & you hope you’re recognized,
You want to go forever, you see it in my eyes.

I’m lost in the confusion and it doesn’t seem to matter,
You really can’t believe and you hope it’s getting better...

You want to trust the doctors their procedure is the best
But the last try was a failure and the intern was a mess;
And they did the same to Matthew & he bled ’til sunday night,
They’re saying don’t be frightened but you’re weakened by the sight of it...

You lock into a pattern & you know that it’s the last ditch,
You’re trying to see through it and it doesn’t make sense;
But they’re saying don’t be frightened
And they’re killing alligators
And they’re hog tied and accepting of the struggle...

You want to trust religion and you know it’s allegory,
But the people who are followers have written their own story;
So you look up to the heavens & you hope that it’s a spaceship
And it’s something from your childhood-
You’re thinking don’t be frightened...

You want to climb the ladder,
You want to see forever,
You want to go out friday
And you want to go forever...

And you want to cross your DNA.
To cross your DNA with something reptile...

And you’re questioning the sciences as questioning religion,
You’re looking like an idiot and you don't longer care.

And you want bridge the Schism
A built in mechanism to protect you;
And you’re looking for salvation
And you’re looking for deliverance,
You’re looking like an idiot
And you no longer care... cause

You want to climb the ladder,
You want to go forever and
You want to go out friday,
You want to go forever...
