[Verse 1]
Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions;
No collision, no intrusion
My imagination run away

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me

[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

[Verse 2]
Hey now, take the U-Bahn
Five stops, change the station
Hey now, don't forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand, million people
That's astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me

[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star star star
I will make it through the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

[Verse 3]
I don't mind repeating
I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something
Are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I know I know that this is changing;
We walk the streets, to feel the ground I'm chasing: ÜBerlin

[Chorus]
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star star
I will make it through the day and then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

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.
