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

Listening, 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 it's for myself, you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more

And 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 of it, I don't know, another friend
Another wife, another morning spent

Listening, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine 
Another engine, another engine
Another

Listen to the bargain holler listen to the barter holler
