life is bigger
it's bigger than you
and you are not me
the lengths that i will go to
the distance in your eyes
oh no i've said too much
i set it up

that's me in the corner
that's me in the spotlight
losing my religion
trying to keep up with you
and i don't know if i can do it
oh no i've said too much
i haven't said enough
i thought that i heard you laughing
i thought that i heard you sing
i think i thought i saw you try

every whisper
of every waking hour i'm
choosing my confessions
trying to keep an eye on you
like a hurt lost and blinded fool
oh no i've said too much
i set it up

consider this
the hint of the century
consider this
the slip that brought me
to my knees failed
what if all these fantasies
come flailing around
now i've said too much
i thought that i heard you laughing
i thought that i heard you sing
i think i thought i saw you try

but that was just a dream
that was just a dream

"Losing My Religion just kinda came to me. The girl who's being attacked and lets part of herself go, that's where Losing my religion was appropriate. Michael [Stipe]'s idea of what Losing My Religion is, is probably different than mine. I asked him to come to the studio and listen. And he came and sat there and there were tears running down of his face. And that was important to me because I needed to know that he thought that I had honoured his song. I wanted him to understand. We never talked about what his version or mine meant, there were no words necessary."

"This video Losing my Religion, I remember seeing it for the first time, it was like a film to me. It wasn't about just making a clip to titillate it had so many dimensions, kinda like FAUST, that is what I felt. This song is one of my favorites, too. I think it is unforgettable."

"I did that [Losing My Religion] for a John Singleton film, Higher Learning. I don't play it that much, but I enjoyed cutting that. That was always one of my very favorite songs. "
