Old Man Kensey - Live From Rock City, Nottingham / 1984

Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, Bill Berry

[Verse 1]
Old man Kensey
Wants to be a sign painter
First, he's got to learn to read
He's going to be a clown on TV
Flexing his elbow, taut and free
(That's my folly) I believe

[Chorus]
Drink up the lake
Stand on your head
(That's my folly)
That's my mistake

[Verse 2]
Old man Kensey
Wants to be a goalie
First, he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to me signed in sopped up tar
(That's my folly) Kensey's going far

[Chorus]
Drink up the lake
Kensey's awake
(That's my folly)
I'm ready to go

[Verse 3]
Old man Kensey
Wants to be a dog catchеr
First, he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna bе a clown in a marching band
Letters to me signed, ransom, greed
(That's my folly) I believe

[Chorus]
Drink up the lake
Kensey's awake
(That's my folly)
That's my mistake

John, Bill and Ed
Drink up the lake
(That's my folly)
I'm ready to go

Drink up the lake
Stand on your head
(If that's my folly)
I'm ready to go

[Outro]
Now, for just a quick- my heel slipped [?], [?], there's no place like home
It's a song about home
