Текст песни Beat a Drum (Dalkey 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.
