  • 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 kicking play list
    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

    Its on my mind
    Its in my mind
    Its what I found
    Its what I find

    Its on my mind
    Its in my mind
    Its what I found
    Its what I find

    And I'll spin my way right through it
    Create an easy way jack through it
    As I mosh up to the moon
    As you circle the room

    Music could provide the light you can not resist
    You can not resist
    You can not resist

    And the web is getting tangled
    As you wingle and you wangle
    When you walk up in Seattle
    Where you fought a recent battle
    As you enter the battle
    Let us raise another vinyl
    Raise another vinyl
    Raise another vinyl

    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

    Its on my mind
    Its in my mind
    Its what I found
    Its what I find

    Its on my mind
    Its in my mind
    Its what I found
    Its what I find

    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

    Music could provide the light you can not resist
    You can not resist
    You can not resist, yeah Writer/s: MICHAEL STIPE, MIKE MILLS, PETER BUCK

  • Joshua from La Crosse, WiHa! After hearing this song for the first time, my first thought was, "What is it about R.E.M. and the eschaton, anyway?" It turns out that wasn't lost on Stipe either.
