R.E.M. Lyrics

"Star 69" lyrics



You don't have to take the bar exam to see
What you did was Ignoramus 103
What've I got to hang my hat on
You don't have a pot to pee in
All this just to be your friend
I was there until the end.
Extortion and arson, petty larceny

I know you called - I know you called - I know you called -
I know you called - I know you called - I know you hung up my line
Star 69

I know all about the warehouse fire
I know squirrelies didn't chew the wires
3 people have my number
The other 2 were with me.
I don't like to tell-but I'm not your patsy.
This time you have gone too far with me.

I know you called - I know you called - I know you called -
I know you called - I know you called - I know you hung up my line
Star 69
(no, no)

Why'd you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dorky Inside Edition Hard Copy.
I can't be your character witness
I can't be your alibi
Your doorbell rings it's the FBI
We learned spy vs. spy
You my friend, are guilty as can be.

I know you called - I know you called - I know you called -
I know you called - I know you called - I know you hung up my line
I know you called - I know you called - I know you called -
I know you called - I know you called - I can't be your alibi.
Star 69
