Long gone intuition to assume are gone when we try
Dream of a living jungle in my way back home when we die
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
Dreams of Elysian to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
The animals how strange
Try, try to stick it in
The animals, how strange
Try, try to stick it in
Dreams of Elysian to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming when we try
Listen through your eyes when we die
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
Dream of a living jungle in my way back home when we die
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
Dreams of Elysian to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
The animals how strange
Try, try to stick it in
The animals, how strange
Try, try to stick it in
Dreams of Elysian to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming when we try
Listen through your eyes when we die
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
West of the fields
Long gone, long gone, long gone, long gone
West of the fields

My take is that the characters are on their way to their Heaven. It's a dreamlike state one is in when this occurs. The bit about "When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify" I interpret as that heaven isn't just a visual sensation. We shouldn't listen with our eyes and interpret what is going on by what we see. Just because you are looking at heaven approaching doesn't mean you understand what's happening there. Heaven is so special that anything could be possible.
The weird words to me are: "Try, try to stick it in"
@Kaflerkta <br /> I like your decoding of an ambiguous lyric. The sense 'mix-up' could also be Stipe's own experience of synaesthesia, which is fascinating in itself
