[Intro]
Woah
Ahh-aa-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse]
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road of indecision
A table was an island, the waitress said
In a sea of devotion
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road with me

[Chorus]
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse]
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road of indecision
A table was an island, the waitress said
In a sea of devotion
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road with me

[Hook]
Ooh-oo-oo-oo
Ooh-oo-oo
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

[Chorus]
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse]
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road of indecision
A table was an island, the waitress said
In a sea of devotion
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road with me

Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road of indecision
A table was an island, the waitress said
In a sea of devotion
Devil rides backwards on a mule named Maybe
Down the road with me

[Chorus]
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la
Ahh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

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.
