[Intro]
This is a great mote
Around the cabbage, cabbage

[Verse 1]
I see your money on the floor
I felt the pocket change through all
The feelings that broke through that door
Just didn't seem to be too real
The yard is nothing but a fence
The sun just hurts our eyes
Somewhere it must be time for penitence
Gardening at night is never where

[Chorus]
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night

[Bridge 1]
The neighbors go to bed at ten
Call the empty for a change
The charge is changing every month
They said it couldn't be arranged

[Verse 2]
We echoed up the garbage sound
They were busy in the rows
We fell up not to see the sun
Gardening at night just didn't grow
Feel money on the floor
I felt the pocket change through all
The feelings that broke through that door
Just didn't seem to be too real

[Chorus]
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night

[Bridge 2]
Your sister said that she just turned 21
They should know they've been there before
The call was two and fifty-one
They said it couldn't be arranged

[Verse 2]
We echoed up the garbage sound
They were busy in the rows
We fell up not to see the sun
Gardening at night just didn't grow
I see the money on the floor
I felt the pocket change through all
The feelings that broke through that door
Just didn't seem to be too real

[Chorus]
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
Gardening at night
(Woo, woo-hoo)
(Woo-hoo-ooh)
(Woo-hoo-ooh)

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.
