Lyrics R.E.M. – Binky The Doormat

This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you’re ‘makin’ love’.
you mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.

have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)

If I’m your oyster, where’s the war?
you leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can’t find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.
well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
you’ve got sauce, but you don’t have knees.
now look who’s asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)

Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
easily defeated.
yeah, shut the door and open wide.
seconal and astroglide.

have you lost your place? (go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

go away, go away, go away, go away,
go away, go away
