R.E.M.

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. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

He's not to be reached he's to be reached. 
He's not to be reached he's to be reached. 

Called the fool and the company 
On his own where he'd rather be. 
Where he ought to be he sees 
What you can't see can't you see that? 

Maybe he's caught in the legend 
Maybe he's caught in the mood. 
Maybe these maps and legends 
Have been misunderstood. 

Down the way the road's divided 
Paint me the places you have seen. 
Those who know what I don't know 
Refer to the yellow, red and green 

Maybe he's caught in the legend, 
Maybe he's caught in the mood. 
Maybe these maps and legends 
Have been misunderstood. 

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. 
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.

The map that you painted didn't seem real. 
He just sings whatever he's seen 
Point to the legend, point to the east, 
Point to the yellow, red and green 

Maybe he's caught in the legend, 
Maybe he's caught in the mood. 
Maybe these maps and legends 
Have been misunderstood, been misunderstood. 
(Maps and legends) 

(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? 
He's not to be reached. 
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? 
He's not to be reached. 
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? 
He's not to be reached anymore.
