Lyrics Beat the Drum Slowly - Timber Timbre

Beat the Drum Slowly

Deco tower, rainbow fountain shower
Crystal column, silver tabloid entry
The celebrity century
A faded trait of the golden age
That flickered out into celluloid ashes
Phantasms fantastic
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche to the cameras rolling
We beat the drum slowly
The family jewels, the swimming pool
Yards marked by emerald coffins
We heard crimes often and softly
A mystery mist, new systems shift
Things recognized from television channels
Nostalgia signals, unscrambled
