[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
It's been pretty simple so far
Vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood
I thought I'd left you behind

[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry]
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours where I live

[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
I followed the catacombs
Left my soul at home
This letter never sent

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills]
And it's so far
It's so dark
I'm so lost

[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry/Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (Another story)
Heaven is yours (Another story for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (Someone, show me)

[Bridge: Michael Stipe/Mike Mills]
When I’m moving too fast
Where’s my new address?

[Verse 3: Michael Stipe]
The water's receiving me now
The catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone
No, not, not so dark, dark

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills]
And it's so far
It's so dark
I'm so lost
And it's so far
It's so dark
I'm so lost

[Chorus 1: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry/Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (Another story)
Heaven is yours (Another story for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (Someone, show me)
Heaven is yours (Another story)
Heaven is yours (Another story for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (Someone, show me)

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.
