[Intro]
This is called "7 Chinese Bros."

[Verse 1]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a chair"
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, twist of color
Autumn waited, hand it to you
In the colored, come another

[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She'll return
She will return

[Verse 2]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a seat"
Take in one symphony now
We'vе just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn thе leg, twist of color
Autumn waded, hand it to you
Swim the color, come another

[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return
She'll return
(She will return)
(She will return) Ooh

[Verse 3]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a chair"
Take in one symphony, Mao
I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, twist of color
Autumn waded, hand reaps eel
Swim the color, come another

[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the Communi did reign
She will return (Oh)
She'll return
She will return
She'll return

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.
