R.E.M. missing song




lyrics updated thanks to Alice

On the Fly 

You said that loving me was falling off a log
You always had a way with words
I'm in a barrel over Niagara Falls
I wonder if I am the first
And If I asked of you for just one wish
Would you turn on me and take the fifth?
You're off again at some epic celebration
Shooting barrels full of fish
You've found another hole to waltz into
You've found another car to crash
I've figured out that humor serves me up
Another of this, too, shall pass
It's easy to laugh off easy to brush aside
We're living our lives, we're here on the fly
It's easy to laugh off easy to brush aside
We're living our lives, we're here on the fly
And I just happen by

I stood there naked by the trains again
Persons stock-still in the yard
A heron waiting for the fish to jump
I never let down my guard
I've been exclusive when it comes to you
I don't receive at all
I wish I felt the same when you call me late
I almost wish you wouldn't call
For God knows what I'm looking for
And God knows what I am
Cause even Jesus had his reservations
I won't be doubting you again
I won't be doubting you again
It's easy to laugh off easy to brush aside
We're living our lives, we're here on the fly
It's easy to laugh off easy to brush aside
We're living our lives, we're here on the fly
And I just happen by
I'm living my life out here on the fly
And I just happen by
I just happen by
