Beat A Drum by REM

Beat A Drum Lyrics

edit | print 
The sun reflected in
The back of my eye.
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.
Gathering as far as I can reach.
Perched up on the precipice
And this is what Ive seen.

This is all I want,
Its all I need.
This is all I am.
This is all I want,
Its all I need.

A bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree.
Doctorate in science and the theologians dream.
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.

But this is all I want,
Its all I need.
This is all I am,
Its everything.
This is all I want,
Its all I need.

Beat a drum for me
Like a butterfly wing.
Tropical storm across the ocean.

But dont explain Im sure Ill want to know
But dont forget were just halfway from home.

This is all I want,
Its all I need.
This is all I am,
Its everything.
This is all I want,
Its all I need.

Beat A Drum Lyrics

The sun reflected in
The back of my eye.
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.
