In Corsica the engines blew
Your favorite writer died
In a car, in a crash
Died in a fire imagine that
In a car, in a crash
Die in a fire imagine that
Engine, engineer

The fire blew the balls main out
It was likened to a whistle spout
Hitch a ride, hitch a ride
Your favorite writer died
Engine, engineer
Peaceful pioneers who
Hold me

Engine, engineer (Ah)
Peaceful pioneers who (Ah)
Hold me (Ah)
Well, there I'm one stop short for leaving here (Ah)

Hold me (Ah)

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.
