Stand Lyrics

Performed by R.E.M.

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around, so

Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Season is calling

Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Reason is calling
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

So stand (stand)
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't
Now stand (stand)
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't

Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

Stand in the place where you are (now face North)
Stand in the place where you are (now face West)
Your feet are going to be on the ground (stand in the place where you are)
Your head is there to move you around, so stand

Vertigo | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/09

I recently awoke with an extreme case of Vertigo. The room was spinning and worsened with any movement. I went back to sleep and awoke nearly every hour with the same experience. I figured out that I was awaking during 'dream time' while experiencing rapid-eye-movement. The r.e.m. continued even after I awoke. Lying down actually made the dizziness worse. The next morning I decided my theme song was Stand. I mistakenly thought the lyrics said, "Don't think about direction." Anyway, it helped me remember to stand straight and focused the rest of the day. I had to laugh when I thought of the band: R.E.M. - coincidence? I don't think so ;} From now on this is the theme song for Vertigo. :)
