Beat a Drum
R.E.M.
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 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 Blue Jay hectors from the felled catalpa tree 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 But don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know. But 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.
