“Get Up” acts as a playful jab at bassist Mike Mills, a self-professed night owl who ended up frequently oversleeping during the album’s production, repeatedly running late to recording sessions as a result. Thus, the song acts as the rest of R.E.M.’s way of telling Mills to cut it out and get up on...
Get Up Lyrics
[Intro]
Sleep delays my life (Get up, get up)
Where does time go? (Get up, get up, get up)
I don't know
[Bridge]
Sleep, sleep, sleepy head (Get up, get up, get up)
Wake it up, up (Get up, get up)
You've got all your life (Way up ahead)
(Get up, get up, get up)
[Chorus]
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
I've seen you lay and pine (Get up, get up)
I've seen you laying pined (Get up, get up)
[Verse]
Life is rough, rough (Get up, get up, get up)
I've seen you laying down (Get up)
With the loving kind (Get up, get up)
I know life is hard, hard (Where now to turn?)
Where to turn? Where to turn? (Get up)
[Bridge]
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
Dreamtime
[Chorus]
Dreams they complicate my life (Dreams they complement my life)
This time, no escape, I wake up (Get up, get up)
(Get up, get up)
(Get up, get up)
(Get up, get up)
(Get up)
