Lotus - Live From John Peel Public Session On BBC Radio 1 / 1998 R.E.M.

[Intro]
...Song called Lotus, and- uh- it's- uh- brand-new

Hey, hey
I ate the Lotus
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So happy to show us (Happy to show us)
Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)
Oh oh, well, I ate the lotus

[Verse 2]
Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scalе, I was hell
It picked me up, thеn I fell
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
