[Intro]
This song's for the guy who broke his leg coming in tonight
And went to the hospital and came back
Hold up your crutches, guy
That's nice, [?]

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

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

[Verse 2]
The southern breezе
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, wrap your heel
Wrap your heel again
Autumn waded, it's filled in here
Swim the color, come another

[Chorus]
She will know and she disperse and she just goes pretending
Liar, and lying, it's true and in a ball
She will return
She'll return
(She will return)
(She will return)

[Verse 3]
Southern symphonies, and grow up
Without going to see
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a store"
Take in one symphony, Mao
I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel, and wrap your heel
Wrap your heel again
Autumn waded seven seas
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 (Oh)
Woah
(Mhm)

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.
