R.E.M. Accelerate Lyrics

Sinking fast, the weights chained to my feet.
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold onto
Nowhere to brake

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction

The last thing I remember
Is climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open, challenging despair
I don't know what I need
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitated.

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction
Accelerate.

The vista I see now is changing.
Uncertainty is suffocating.
Our hope has never felt so grating.
Lit up dim,
And pounding pulse
Make it go
Make it slow down.
And go.

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to fall in another direction.

The city sputters like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow, make it go
Accelerate to make it slow, make it go
Accelerate, I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete.
