[Verse 1]
Long gone intuition
To assume are gone
When we try
I dream of a living jungle
Heed my way back home
When we die

[Chorus]
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields

[Verse 2]
Dreams of Elysian
To assume are gone
When we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try and listen with your eyes
Oversimplify

[Chorus]
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields

[Bridge]
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me

[Verse 3]
Dreams of Elysian
To assume are gone
When we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen to your eyes
When we die

[Chorus]
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields

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.
