The After Hours

The After Hours
(Velvet Underground original - Stipe's variation below. R.E.M. frequently closed Green Tour shows with this song - a live version appears on the CD single for "Losing My Religion" and in the video for "Tourfilm")

If you close the door
the night could last forever.
Say goodbye to now
and say hello to never.
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
You know it can happen to me.
But if we close the door
I'll never have to see the world again.
