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.

Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter 
First he's got to learn to read 
He's gonna be a clown on TV. 
Flags at his elbow  time to breath 
(That's my folly) I believe 

Drink up the lake  Kensey's away 
(That's my folly) That's my mistake 

Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie 
First he's got to learn to count 
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount 
Letters to me signed in sopped up tar 
(That's my folly) Kensey's going far 

John, Bill and Ted, stand on your head 
(That's my folly) I'm ready to go 

Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher 
First he's got to learn to stand 
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band 
Letters to me signed ransom greed 
(That's my folly) I believe 

Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ted, 
(That's my folly) That's my mistake 
Kensey's away, stand on your head 
(That's my folly) I'm ready to go
