  • 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
    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
    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
    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

    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
    I ate the lotus Writer/s: Michael Mills, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck
