R.E.M. - Beat a Drum lyrics
[R.E.M. - Beat a Drum lyrics]
I knocked my head against the sky
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me
A seahorse as if we were in the sea
Half way from coal half way to diamond
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
Perched up on a precipice
And this is what I've seen
This is all I want it's all I need
This is all I am it's everything
This is all I want it's all I need
A bluejay hectors from the
Felled Catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
A seahorse as if we were in the sea
This is all I want it's all I need
This is all I am it's everything
This is all I want it's all I need
Beat a drum for me like a butterfly wing
Tropical storm across the ocean
But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget we're just half way from coal
This is all I want it's all I need
This is all I am it's everything
This is all I want it's all I need
