ORANGE CRUSH
By R.E.M.
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
(repeat verse)
High on the roof,
thin the blood,
another one climbs on the waves tonight,
comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up
and our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was
remembering and I was just in a differnet county and all then this
whirlybird that I headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I
knew every back road and every truck stop
(repeat verse and chorus)
Comments:
'Orange Crush' is a refrence to the defoliant known as agent orange widely
used in Vietnam by US forces. The spine part comes from its confirmed role
in increasing the number of degenerative neural diseases exponentionally.
