R.e.m. - Beat a Drum (Demo) lyrics

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 bu*terfly 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
