R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry.

The walls are built up  stone by stone  
The fields divided one by one. 
And the train conductor says 
"Take a break Driver 8  Driver 8 take a break 
We've been on this shift too long" 

And the train conductor says 
"Take a break Driver 8  Driver 8 take a break 
We can reach our destination  but we're still a ways away" 

I saw a tree house on the outskirts of the farm. 
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged. 
Bells are ringing through the town again, 
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing 

And the train conductor says 
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break 
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" 

Way to shield the hated heat. 
Way to put myself to sleep. 
Way to shield the hated heat. 
Way to put myself, my children to sleep. 

He piloted this song in a plane like that one. 
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade. 
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again. 
Field to weed is lookin' thin 

And the train conductor says 
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break 
We've been on this shift too long." 
And the train conductor says 
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break 
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
