  • Now the radio stutters, snaps to life
    Some sour song that sets it right
    And when London falls
    He'd like to call
    But the stars collide
    They're beautiful and much maligned
    In a universe where you see the worst
    And it's up to you to fix it

    Now you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you want to shout
    How you see it all

    It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd
    There is no doubt. it's this, here, now
    And you close your eyes
    He's not coming back
    So you work it out, overfeed the cat
    And the plants are dry and they need to drink
    So you do your best. and you flood the sink
    Sit down in the kitchen and cry

    Now you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you want to shout
    How you see it all

    Now the universe left you for a runners lap
    It feels like home when it comes crashing back
    And it makes you laugh
    And it makes you cry
    When London falls
    And you're still alive
    The radio stutters
    It makes you laugh
    And the aftermath
    Open up your eyes
    You're so alive

    Now you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    And you want to shout
    How you see it all
    How you've worked it out
    And you see it all
    How you've worked it out
    And you see it all Writer/s: Michael E. Mills, Michael Stipe, Peter Lawrence Buck
