R.E.M. — Star 69 lyrics

Lyrics

You don’t have to take the bar exam to see
What you did is Ignoramous 103
Where have I got to hang my hat
You don’t have line to me All this seems to be a plan
I was there to tell you
Extortion and arson, petty larceny
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.
Star 69.
I know all about the warehouse fire.
I know squirrelies didn’t chew the wire.
Three people have my number, the other two were with me.
I don’t ________ to I’m not your patsy.
This time you have gone too far with me.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.
Star 69.
Why’d you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some ____ inside edition hard for me.
I can’t be your character witness, I can’t be your alibi.
Don’t arrange the FBI, ____________ spy.
You my friend are guilty as can be.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I can’t be your alibi.
Star 69.
