[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
When it rain, rains, let the children reign
The builder's ball is winding thin
Your skeleton chin
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky and
Tell the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (Could it be on call, and the sidewalk,)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, and it stays by me)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, even though you're not home)
[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
In a rain, when the rain turns to fiction
Settled profit, gain
Keep your skeleton, rain
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky and
Bleed the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (Could it be on call, and the sidewalk)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, and it stays by me)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, Even though you're not home)
Fall on me
[Bridge: Mike Mills & Bill Berry]
Well, I would keep it inside (Ooh)
But then it wouldn't be mine anymore (Ooh)
But if I sang it to you, you gotta promise to take it home (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Stipe]
Buy the sky and sell the sky and
Lift your arms up to the sky and
Ask the sky and ask the sky
[Chorus: Michael Stipe, Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (Could it be on call, and the sidewalk,)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, and it stays by me)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, Even though you're not home)
[Outro: Michael Stipe, Bill Berry & Mike Mills]
Don't fall on me (Could it be on call, and the sidewalk,)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, and it stays by me)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, Even though you're not home)
Fall on me, don't fall on me (Could it be on call, and the sidewalk,)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, and it stays by me)
Fall on me (Could it be on call, Even though you're not home)
