R.E.M. - Crush with Eyeliner Lyrics

I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road

Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman child
Oh, my kiss breath turpentine

I am smitten, I'm the real thing
(I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner

I'm in like, I'm infatuated
It's all too much pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?

Cop an attitude?
(Fake her)
How can I convince her?
(Fake her)
That I'm invented too, yeah

I am smitten, I'm the real thing
(I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
And, uhh, you know me

Yeah, she's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention
(She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat

What can I make myself be?
A life is strange
(Yeah life is strange)
What can I make myself be?
(Fake her)
To make her mine?

I am smitten, I'll do anything
(I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten, uhh,you know me
(Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner

I am smitten, I'm the real thing
(I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
