  • Take a turn
    Take a turn
    Take a fortune
    Take a fortune

    They called the clip a two-headed cow
    Your hate, clipped and distant
    Your luck with pilgrimage
    Rest assured, this will not last
    Take a turn for the worst
    Your hate, clipped and distant
    Your luck, a two-headed cow

    The pilgrimage has gained momentum
    Take a turn
    Take a turn
    Take a fortune
    Take a fortune

    Speaking in tongues, it's worth a broken lip
    Your hate, clipped and distant
    Your luck with pilgrimage
    Rest assured, this will not last
    Take a turn for the worst
    Your hate, clipped and distant
    Your luck, a two-headed cow

    The pilgrimage has gained momentum
    Take a turn (take a turn)
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take a fortune (take a turn)
    Take a fortune

    (Ah)
    Pilgrimage
    (Ah) Pilgrimage

    Speaking in tongues, it's worth a broken lip
    Your hate, clipped and distant
    Your luck
    Rest assured, this will not last
    Take a turn for the worst
    Your hate clipped and distant
    Your luck, two-headed

    The pilgrimage has gained momentum
    Take a turn (take a turn)
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take a fortune (take a turn)
    Take your fortune

    (Ah) Pilgrimage
    (Ah) Pilgrimage

    Pilgrimage has gained momentum
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take your fortune (take a turn)
    Take your fortune (take a turn)
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take your turn (take a turn)
    Take your fortune (take a turn)
    Take your fortune Writer/s: Bill Berry, Michael Mills, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck

  • Jp from Bangor, MeI was a lucky guy--I saw the entire Murmur album performed life in 1983. I just leaned on the front of the state at the college venue and enjoyed the heck out of it. Of the fragments that I can remember I can still hear the opening to Pilgrimage in my mind.
