R.E.M. 『Accelerate』の歌詞とMVとカラオケ練習

sinking fast, the weights 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 onto, nowhere to brake.

where is the rip cord, the trap door, the key?
where is the cartoon escape hatch for me?
no time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction.

the last thing I remember
is climbing up the stairs.
I threw the window open, challenging despair.
i don't know what i need, i needed time,
i needed to escape.
i saw the future turned upside down
and hesitated.

where is the rip cord, the trap door, the key?
where is the cartoon escape hatch for me?
no time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction.
accelerate.

the vista I see now is changing.
uncertainty is suffocating.
hope has never felt so grating. lit up dim,
and pounding pulse.
make it go. make it slow down.
and go

where is the rip cord, the trap door, the key?
where is the cartoon escape hatch for me?
no time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction.

the city sputters like it's ready to
explode.
accelerate to make it slow, make it go.
accelerate to make it slow, make it go.
accelerate, I'm incomplete,
I'm incomplete, I'm incomplete
