Текст песни Beat a Drum

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 upon 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
a doctorate in science and a theologian's
dream

the dragonflies are trying to lecture me
seahorses if we we're 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

don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know.
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
