R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry.

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.
