Текст песни Diminished - R.E.M.

I watched you fall
I think I pushed
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe diminished
Maybe I'm innocent, maybe I'm finished
Maybe I blacked out, how do I play this?

I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the jury wavering?
Do they know I sing?

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe diminished
How do I?
How do I play this?
Jealous lover, self-defence
Protective brother, chemical dependence
I'll consult the i-ching, I'll consult the TV
Ouija, oblique strategies
I'll consult the law books for precedents
Can I charm the jury?

I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know I sing that song?

Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

I watched you fall
I think I pushed (think I pushed)
Maybe they'll see me, maybe they'll say
"I can see the truth in his statement"
Smallpox blanket, no way
Can I charm the jury, my defence?

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe diminished
Maybe I loved you
Baby, I loved you
Baby, I loved you
Baby, I loved you
Baby I'm finished

I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know I sing that song?

Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

I have given myself away
I have given my best today
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?

Does she know I loved you?
Does she know I loved you?
Does she know I sing?

I feel great, I lied to save your feelings
Truth convened, my head smashed through the ceiling
I lost an arm, no one harmed you
Diplomatically alarmed
I sulked away to lick my thin skin

And I'm not over you
I'm not over you
I'm not over you
