(I posted something similar over at CMC... just a little something to baffle y'all.)
Letting my mind wander is what I do for a living.
Alterations arrive, not difficult to swallow.
Put the universe on hold. Make sure we don't forget.
Devoted to being risky. Since when have you been getting high? Idiot.
Luggage. One-night stand 'til death do us part.
Perturbed, in the event that all alternatives are exhausted.
Integer with a Christian message, signaling the great beyond.

Well, I caught a bunch of possible references, but no idea what this is about as a whole. I suck at poetry interpretation.

Integer with a Christian message, signaling the great beyond. From that last line, I would guess infinity, but I don't see how that fits with many of the other clues. Edit: Oops, I interpreted it wrong. |

The first thing I thought of was Over the Rhine. Each line refers to one of their songs on Ohio. I only placed about half of them. Unfortunately, my copy of the album is at school right now, and I am at home. But here goes nothing. Letting my mind wander is what I do for a living. "Professional Daydreamer" Alterations arrive, not difficult to swallow.
"Changes Come" Devoted to being risky. Since when have you been getting high? Idiot. "How Long Have You Been Stoned?" Luggage. One-night stand 'til death do us part. "Suitcase" Am I right? Huh? Huh? |

Nobody Number One? Nope, but nice try. You're right on the "number" part though. Some of these are two in one sentence. And they're not all from Ohio. |

They're all Over the Rhine songs. So far you guys have gotten:
Letting my mind wander is what I do for a living = Professional Daydreamer
Alterations arrive = Changes Come
Make sure we don't forget = Remind Us
Since when have you been getting high? = How Long Have You Been Stoned?
Luggage = Suitcase
Perturbed = Bothered
The remainder (I've broken them down into one sentence per clue to avoid further confusion)
Not difficult to swallow.
Put the universe on hold.
Devoted to being risky.
Idiot.
One-night stand 'til death do us part.
In the event that all alternatives are exhausted.
Integer with a Christian message.
Signaling the great beyond.

Very good, Emericana. Though, as I told bloop, Nobody Number One is not the correct answer for "Integer with a Christian message". I'll let you guys chew on that one for a while.
In the meantime, here's another one:
Unable to locate the desired object after quite some time. Undomesticated bee barf.
A short time from now. Certain 24-hour periods are preferable.
Deity sequel. Get out of bed, you corpse.
Enigmatic methods. Are you able to sense affection?
Altitude. Metal projectile in the azure atmosphere.
Negative e to the i pi. Surpassing the genuine article.
Gazing intently into nuclear fusion converting hydrogen into helium. Memorable combustion.
Attempting to embrace the planet's circumference. Preceding Armageddon.
Plasma-coated Sabbath. Lacking sensory stimulation.
A place in which asphalt pathways lack nomenclature. Car that breaks down frequently.
The Hefner residence. Oedipus. Virgin experience.

I guess I'll give it a shot, though due to my lack of song knowledge, most of these are guesses:
Unable to locate the desired object after quite some time. -Still haven't found what I'm looking for
Undomesticated bee barf. -Wild Honey?
Get out of bed, you corpse. -Wake Up Dead Man
Enigmatic methods. -Mysterious Ways
Altitude. -Elevation
Surpassing the genuine article. -Even better than the real thing
Gazing intently into nuclear fusion converting hydrogen into helium. -Staring at the sun?
Attempting to embrace the planet's circumference. -Trying to wrap my arms around the world
Preceding Armageddon. -Before the end of the world
Lacking sensory stimulation. -Numb?
A place in which asphalt pathways lack nomenclature. -Where the Streets Have No Name
Car that breaks down frequently. -Lemon?

A short time from now. "In a Little While," I'm guessing, though it could also work for "Tomorrow." Certain 24-hour periods are preferable.
"Some Days are Better Than Others." Deity sequel. "God part 2." Are you able to sense affection?
"Do You Feel Loved." Metal projectile in the azure atmosphere.
"Bullet the Blue Sky." Memorable combustion.
"The Unforgettable Fire." Attempting to embrace the planet's circumference. Preceding Armageddon.
"Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" and "Until the End of the World." Plasma-coated Sabbath. "Sunday Bloody Sunday"... surprised Vlad! missed this one. =) The Hefner residence. "Playboy Mansion." Oedipus Uh... "Mofo"? Virgin experience. "The First Time." I think that, between Vlad! and I, we got them all... yes? |

Let me try my hand at this... mine should be fairly easy.
Take a seat and arise. An absence of events that will shock or bewilder you. A pair of doubles produces quints.
Fortunate. Stored like small aquatic creatures in a metallic box that has sustained damage to its exterior.
Instructions for totally vanishing.
Commence slumbering. The official song of our country. Robot looking over its shoulder.
Disappointment. Enforcers of what goes around comes around. Analogous to causing dishes to rotate.
Sounds for the egress. Scaling the bulwark. Always expecting the best. Purgatory.

Some more fun once you guys finish working out the REM clues:
Frequently occurring predicament. At no point are you able to realize.
Emptiness in the gap. Collide with the first person.
Blockbuster rival. Idol, Ocean, Thornton and the Kid dropping acid.
The most preferable out of all that is nearby. A vehicle arriving and then leaving again.
Unmerited favor is no longer here. One less than the meaning of life.
Candy bar jelly. Beverage server.
Most self-assured primate. Aquatic being with large optical sensors.
Be advised not to imbibe from the faucet. Moron to ponder.
Excavating a hole in the ground. Perjure where we will be buried.
Long-haired prisoner. That which quoth "Nevermore".
