Catapult

From Murmur 1983

Written by Bill Berry, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills

Lyrics

Catapult

[Verse 1]

When we were little boys

When we were little girls

It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off

Cowered in a hole

Open your mouth, a question

[Pre-Chorus]

Did we miss anything?

Did we miss anything?

Did we miss anything?

Did we miss anything?

[Chorus]

Catapult (Catapult)

Catapult

[Verse 2]

When we were little boys

When we were little girls

It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off

Cowered in a hole, open your mouth

We in step, in hand

Your mother remembers this

Hear the howl of the rope

A question

[Pre-Chorus]

Did we miss anything?
