Lyrics Lotus (Live At The Palace / 1999) - R.E.M.

Hey, hey
I-I-I, I'm the loudest
Hey, hey

I was hell, sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun, hard won, no
Ocean flower aquarium

Badlands, give a hand
Honey dip, flim, flam
Hey-hey, hey-hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man

So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus

Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale, I was hell
It picked me up, then I fell

Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus

Rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin

That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?

Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus

We should just go down on this one
Yes, that's real, what you doin'?
Okay, no
We catch this, what?
Oh, yeah, come on

Catch this, oh, yeah
That was a little slow, huh, no
Oh, yeah, we could rehearse that one
Austin Power

This is a stunning little Pop song, yeah
