Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea, sea
Woah
Woah
Those creatures jumped the barricades and have headed for the sea
She began to breathe to breathe
At the thought of such freedom
Stood and whispered to her child, ''"Belong."''
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Stood and whispered to her child, ''"Belong."''
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; ''"Belong."''
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She took the child held tight
Opened the window
A breath, this song, how long
and knew, knew; ''"Belong."''
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

| scottsquatch (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Dec 16, 2010 - 04:42 One of my favorite REM deep cuts - second only to the untitled 11th track on 'Green' - the song that will forever remind me of high school in Athens. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Nov 14, 2010 - 10:46 awesome... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Oct 13, 2010 - 18:22 very cool... |

| bhallmark (The Administrative Zone of the District of Columbia) | Posted: Apr 05, 2010 - 19:32 I have always loved this song. Why do I no longer have this CD? That is the question... |

| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Feb 01, 2010 - 16:37 Sounds like Nicholas Cage with a Michael Stipe back -up. |
| katherinenz (The (other) far south...) | Posted: Feb 01, 2010 - 16:36 One the few remaining REM songs I can stand to listen to all the way through |

| Shimmer (Bethesda, MD) | Posted: Feb 19, 2009 - 13:01 I love REM, but this is hardly even a song. It's more like the outline of a song that they never bothered filling in. |
