  • I could have kept my head down
    I might have kept my mouth shut
    I should have held my own,
    You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

    You're only as big as your battles.
    Rattle my cage with your shadow.
    I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
    Don't you know that what comes around goes around?

    [Chorus]
    I'm not that easy,
    I am not your horse to water.
    I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

    Don't darken my doorstep again,
    You're mixing up living in chin-chin,
    You're mixing up lose with win-win,
    You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

    You stumble on glass top table,
    TV's chewing shock-gone cable
    Pump me up a beanstalk fable
    And I'll call this entertainment
    Cause Humpty's falling down.

    [Chorus]

    Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
    Friday night f**kin' fried-up pub crawl
    Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
    Don't you know that what comes around goes around?

    [Chorus]

    It's not that easy
    I am not your horse to water
    I hold my breath, I come around, round, round
    It's going down, down, down
    This runaround, round, round
    Is bound to pound
    The daylights out of you! Writer/s: MICHAEL STIPE, MIKE MILLS, PETER BUCK
