This is a great bass line to play, Mike Mills uses a pick almost always, and the backing 
are fun to do
In the chorus he sings "fly to sleep, carry each his, we are concern..." that part and at the
end he sings "take away the scattered bones of meal". Listen to the song for the 
it's easy to pick up.
