[Verse 1]
Oh well, what in the world? Women in black
Don't you remember? Sonny's packed
A day in the life, well, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last?

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch

[Verse 2]
You set the pace of what was to come
I have to carry on now that you're gone
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last?

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Oh, Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch

[Bridge]
There's someone in our dreams, in our pre-assembled dream
Lord, Dave, William

[Verse 3]
Well, what in the world? Women in black
Don't you remember? Sonny's, Tyrone's packed
A day in the life, well, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last?

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch

[Outro]
Can't see where to worship Popeye, love Al Green
I can't see
I'm so young, I'm so goddamn young

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.
