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

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

[Verse 2]
You set the pace, what was to come
You 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? Oh

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

[Bridge]
There's someone in our dreams, in our pre-assemblеd dream

[Verse 3]
What in the world? Women in black
Don't you rеmember? Sonny's packed
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last? Huh

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

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.
