Life And How To Live It — REM

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way Two doors to go between the wall was raised today Two doors remain before your others and your own Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

(chorus) My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way Two doors to go between the wall was raised today Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

(repeat chorus)

The hills ringing hear the words in time Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue Can't you see you made my ears go tin? The air quicken tension building inference suddenly Life and how to live it

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

(repeat chorus)

My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler, If I write a book it will be called "Life and How to Live It"
