Lyrics Beat A Drum - Demo - R.E.M.
The
sun
reflected
in
the
back
of
my
eye
I
knocked
my
head
against
the
sky.
The
dragonflies
are
busy
buzzing
me
Seahorses
if
we
were
in
the
sea.
Halfway
from
coal,
halfway
to
diamond.
My
fall
knocked
a
mean
chip
out
of
me.
I'm
gathering
as
far
as
I
can
reach
We're
perched
upon
the
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
A
doctorate
in
science
and
a
theologian's
dream.
The
dragonflies
are
trying
to
lecture
me
Seahorses
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.
Don't
explain,
I'm
sure
I'll
want
to
know.
Don't
forget,
we're
just
halfway
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.
