[Verse 1]
Postcard stowaway within
Pristine indigo without
Banded ottoman as such
Sofa seated one too much

[Pre-Chorus]
All along the range (Ra-da-da-da-da)
All along the range (Ra-da-da-da-da)
Ra-da-da-da-da
Ra-da-da-da-da
Ra-da-da-da-da
Ra-da-da-da-da

[Chorus]
Ages of you
Ages of you
Ages of you

[Verse 1]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Train pulls over hanging bridge
Conductor looks up, thinks
Out and down
Hands stuck to the left
To the right, cruciform
The horses just don't gossip anymore

[Verse 1]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] x2

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.
