[Verse 1]
I've took a picture that I'll have to send
People here are friendly and content
People here are colorful and bright
The flowers often bloom at night

[Chorus]
Amanita is the name
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything

[Verse 2]
There's something here I find hard to ignore
There's something that I've never seen before
Amanita is the name, they cover over everything

[Chorus]
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything (Amanita is the name)
The flowers cover everything

[Bridge]
Look into the sun
Don't look into the sun

[Chorus]
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything

[Outro]
There's something that I've never seen before
The flowers often bloom at night
Amanita is the name, they cover over everything

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.
