[Verse 1]
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains, peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

[Chorus]
Step up, step up
Step up, the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull

[Verse 2]
Somewhere near the end, it said
"You can't do this." I said, "I can, too."
Ships sway and rivers shift
Oceans form and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

[Chorus]
Step up, step up
Step up, the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull onto my eyes
Holding my head straight (Looking down)
This is the easiest task I ever had to do

[Verse 3]
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Ships sway and rivers shift
Oceans form and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

[Chorus]
Step up, step up
Step up, the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull onto my eyes
Holding my head straight (Looking down)
This is the easiest task I ever had to do

[Outro]
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
