R-E-M : Accelerate | live

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet <br />No time to argue with belief <br />I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping <br />Faster than me <br />What put me here? <br />Nothing to hold on to <br />Nowhere to brake <br /><br />Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? <br />Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? <br />No time to question the choices I make <br />I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler) <br /><br />The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs <br />I threw the window open in challenge and despair <br />I don't know what I needed <br />I needed time <br />I needed to escape <br />I saw the future turn <br />Upside-down and hesitate. <br /><br />Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? <br />Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? <br />No time to question the choices I make <br />I've got to follow another direction <br /><br />Accelerate. <br /><br />The vista I see now is changing <br />Uncertainty is suffocating <br />Our hope has never felt so great and <br />Lit up down <br />A pounding pulse <br />To make it go <br />Make it slow down, <br />Go. <br /><br />Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key? <br />Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me? <br />No time to question the choices I make <br />I've got to follow another direction. <br /><br />The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode <br />Accelerate to make it slow <br />Make it go <br />Accelerate to make it slow <br />Make it go <br />I'm incomplete
