R.E.M. — Little America Live / 1984 Aragon Ballroom

[Intro] There are somehow those who will not compromise And some patriotic among us There are some who will raise their flags And with and without end [Verse 1] I can't see myself at thirty I don't buy a lacquered thirty Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelry, again Lighted in the amber yard A green shellback, green shellback Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in a tree beer tar-black br'er sap [Chorus] The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The consul, a horsе, oh man, I think we're lost (Yeah) [Verse 2] Who will tеnd the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings? Who will sweep the floor, hedging near the givens? Rally 'round your leaders It's the mediator season Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led? [Chorus] The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The consul, a horse, oh man, I think we're lost [Bridge] The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest A matter, of course, Jefferson, drive it (Turn around) [Verse 3] Lighted in the amber yard A green shellback, green shellback Skylight, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black br'er sap Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game Another Greenville, another Magic Mart Grab your fiddle [Chorus] The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The consul, a horse, oh man, I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The pastor, a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost Lost [Outro] Thanks, I'm gonna breathe Thank you very much, goodbye
