Lotus Songtext
von R.E.M.

Hey, hey

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 dip, flim flam
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man

So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven′t you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus


Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale, I was hell
It picked me up, then I fell
Who's this stranger?
Crowbar spine
Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain (rain)
Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven′t you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus

Let it rain, 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 (rain)
Bring my happy back again


So happy to show us
Oh, I ate the lotus
Say, haven't you noticed?
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
Oh, I ate the lotus
