Beat A Drum (Demo)
by Roger Waters
The sun reflected in the back of my eye.
I knocked my head against the sky.
I knocked my head against the sky.
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.
Halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
I'm gathering as far as I can reach.
We're perched up on a precipice
And this is what I've seen.
We're perched up on a 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 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.
A doctorate in science and a theologian's dream.
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses if we were in the sea.
The 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 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.
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.
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 am, it's everything.
This is all I want, it's all I need.
