[Verse 1]
This name I got we all agreed
C could stop, stop it well read
We could bind it in the scythes
We could gather, throw a fit

[Chorus 1]
Up to par and Katie bar
The kitchen signs but not me in
Sit and try for the big kill
A waste of time sitting still

[Verse 2]
I'm the sun and you can read
I'm the sign and you're not deaf
We could gather in the scythe
We would like to throw a fit

[Chorus 1]
Up to par and Katie bars
The kitchen signs but not me in
Sit and try for the big kill
A waste of time sitting still
I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you

[Verse 1]
This name I got we all agreed
C could stop, stop it well read
We could bind it in the scythes
We could gather, throw a fit

[Chorus 1]
Up to par and Katie bars
The kitchen signs but not me in
Sit and try for the big kill
A waste of time sitting still
I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you

[Verse 4]
You can gather when we talk
Talk until you're blue
You could get away from me
Get away from me

[Chorus 2]
Up to par and Katie bars
The kitchen signs
Sit and try for the big kill
A waste of time sitting still
I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you

[Outro]
I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you
Can you hear me?

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.
