R.e.m. - 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. Gathering as far as i can reach. Perched up on the precipice And this is what i've seen. This is all i want, It's all i need. This is all i am. This is all i want, It's 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, 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. But don't explain i'm sure i'll want to know But don't forget we're just halfway from home. 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.
