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 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 bluejay 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
