Текст песни R.E.M. - Beat A Drum

Текст:

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 (chorus) 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 (repeat chorus) Beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing Tropical storm across the ocean Don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know Don't forget, we're just halfway from coal (repeat chorus)
