Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video of R.E.M. performing "Losing My Religion"
For the uninitiated "Losing my religion" is a southern American way of saying "reaching the end of one's rope" or "losing your temper" or "losing your civility".

"Losing My Religion" written by R.E.M. Bill Berry, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck
Lyrics
"Oh life, it's 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, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
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

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

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream"

SGT (Join to see) LTC Stephen F. I Never Lost My Religion, If Anything I learned to Enjoy It without the Dogma. I'm still a Social Justice Catholic without the "Church" When You're Parents are Lay Ministers in the Catholic Faith and Your Grandparents were German/French Distillers, I learned to distill the best out of My Faith.
