R.e.m. Lotus

hey hey.

I was hell

sarcastic silver swell.

that day it rained

tough spun. hard won. 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 myself 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.

say haven't you noticed?

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus
