Great Lyrics Reimagined: Losing My Religion by REM

Oh, I am bigger

I'm bigger than me, and I am not me

The lengths I have to walk to

The distance would surprise

Because I've fed too much

I set it up


That’s me on the footpath

That’s me on a low wall losing my momentum

Trying to get back up

And I don’t know if I can do it

Oh no I’ve sat too much

I haven’t sat enough


I thought that I'd reach the corner

I thought that I'd reach the swing

I think I thought I'd really try


Every sleeping and every waking hour

I'm checking out my glucose

Tryin' to keep the levels down

Like I had to attach a probe, probe

Because I've fed too much

I set it up


Considered this

Considered this a lid on the gluttony

Considered this the tip

Walk in the park, a breeze, failed

Suddenly these vol-au-vents come flailing around

And now, I've fed too much


I thought that I'd reach the corner

I thought that I'd reach the swing

I think I thought I'd really try


But chocolate is the dream

Chocolate is the dream


That’s me on the footpath

That’s me on a low wall losing my momentum

Trying to get back up

And I don’t know if I can do it

Oh no I’ve sat too much

I haven’t sat enough


I thought that I'd reach the corner

I thought that I'd reach the swing

I think I thought I'd really try


But that was just a dream

Pie sky fry my

Breakfast it's a dream

It's a dream, it's a dream, dream
