Beat a drum

REM

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, it's everything. 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. INSTRUMENTAL beat a drum for me like a butterfly 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.
