Lyrics

(Buck/mills/stipe)

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 defense
Protective brother, chemical dependence
I'll consult the i-ching
I'll consult the tv
Ouija, oblique strategies
I'll consult the law book for precedents
Can I charm the jury?

(Chorus)
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
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 defense?
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe I loved you
Baby I loved you
Baby I loved you
Baby I'm finished

(Repeat chorus)

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?
