R. E.M. lyrics - Lotus

Hey hey.

Hey hey.



I was hell.

Sarcastic silver swell

That day it rained

Tough spun. Hard worn. No

Ocean flower aquarium

Badlands. Give a hand.

Honey dipt. Flim flam

Hey hey. Hey hey.

That cat can walk like a big bad man.



So happy to show us

I ate the lotus.

Say haven't you noticed?

I ate the lotus



Storefront window, I reflect.

Just last week I was merely heck

Tip the scale. I was hell

Picked me up, then I fell.

Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine

...and I feel fine.

Let it rain, rain, rain.

Bring my happy back again.



So happy to show us

I ate the lotus.

Say haven't you noticed?

I ate the lotus



Let it rain, rain, rain

Save me from my self again

Wash away my ugly sins

Opposing thumb, dorsal fin

That monkey died for my grin

Bring my happy back again

Let it rain, rain, rain

Bring my happy back again



So happy to show us

I ate the lotus

So haven't you noticed?

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus
