Life And How To Live It lyrics

Artist  : R.E.M. 
Song : Life And How To Live It
 


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 away and 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 tension building
inference suddenly
Life and how to live
it

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, a knock, a knock, a knock
A
secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom
lost

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
My carpenter's out
and running about, barking in the, listen to the
holler
My pockets are out and running
about
Barking in the street to tell what I
have hidden there

Listen, listen to the
holler,
If I write a book it will be called
"Life and How to Live It"
