R.E.M. - Accelerate

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction although fall down is much cooler

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside down and hesitate

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
Accelerate

The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down
Go

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction

The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction although fall down is much cooler

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside down and hesitate

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
Accelerate

The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down
Go

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key
Where is the cartoon escape hatch for me
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction

The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
