Auctioneer (another Engine) - R.E.M.

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town 
Get me to the train on time  here take this nickel make a dime 
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave 
What is at the other end  I don't know another friend 
Another wife  another morning spent 
Listen  listen to the auctioneer 
Another engine  another engine 

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained 
Some things are givens, and others get away 
This time its for myself you call it what you may 
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more 
Listen to the auctioneer 
Another engine, another engine 

Listen to the bargain holler 
Listen to the barter holler 
Listen to the auctioneer 

Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime 
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave 
What is at the other end, an I don't know another friend 
Another wife, another morning spent 
Listen to the auctioneer 
Another engine, another engine 

Do I stand the bargain holler? 
Listen to the barter holler 
Listen to the auctioneer
