If death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world!

'Cause if heaven does exist
With a kickin' playlist
I don't wanna miss it at the end of the world!

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
It's what I find

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
Oh, my my my

"But I'll spin my way right through it"
Claims enthusiast Jack Pruitt
As the moths circle the moon
As you're circling the room

The music could provide the light
You cannot resist
You cannot resist
You cannot resist

And the weblogs that get tangled
As you willie and you wangle
In your walk-up in Seattle
Where you fought the nascent battle
And you threw the thread and throttle

Let us raise another bottle
Raise another bottle
Raise another bottle

Because
Death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world!

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
It's what I find

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
Oh, my my my

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

The music could provide the light
You cannot resist
You cannot resist
You cannot resist

Yeah

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.
