Be Mine

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe) 



  ("A speed zone up here too") 

  I never thought of this as funny 
  It speaks another world to me 
  I wanna be your Easter bunny 
  I wanna be your Christmas tree 

  I'll strip the world that you must live in 
  Of all it's godforsaken greed 
  I'll ply the tar out of your feathers 
  I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me 

  And if I choose your sanctuary 
  I'll want to wash you with my hair 
  I'll want to drink of sacred fountains 
  And find the riches hidden there 

  I'll eat the lotus and peyote 
  I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing 
  I'll want the secrets of the temple 
  I'll want the finger with the ring 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me 

  And if you make me your religion 
  I'll give you all you will need 
  I'll be the drawing of your breath 
  I'll be the cup if you should bleed 
  I'll be the sky above the Ganges 
  I'll be the vast and stormy sea 
  I'll be the lights that guide you inland 
  I'll be the visions you will see 
  Visions you will see 
  You will see 
  You will see 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me 
  You and me
