R.E.M. - Accelerate [Live] Lyrics

Sinking fast, the weight's 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 grab on to, nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Is there a cartoon escape hatch I see?
No time to question the choices I made
I've got to fall in another direction, accelerate

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open, challenging despair
I've lost my solid ground, I've got to [Incomprehensible]
And now I know I've got to [Incomprehensible]

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Is there a cartoon escape hatch I see?
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 great and lit up down
Pounding pulse, you make it go, make it slow down, go, go

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Is there a cartoon escape hatch I see?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction, accelerate

Accelerate, accelerate
Accelerate, accelerate
I'm incomplete, I'm incomplete, I'm incomplete
