Bang Your Drum |
| The dying light |
| Was nearly dead |
| By the time we reached the water’s edge |
| We saw the river beating on the riverbank |
| For the way that it held every hard riverbed |
| It’s cold, it’s dirt, it’s not for people with uneasy hearts |
| But if you’re with me on the other side |
| Strike up the band, we have survived |
| Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home |
| Or do they beat it to keep you away |
| Don’t be surprised at your regrets |
| Don’t be surprised that the water made you wet |
| There’s a shallow down river when the water will forgive you |
| Soft skin, your lukewarm beds |
| Follow me, follow me |
| Allow me to play the voyager |
| I’ll try to keep you as dry as the hollowed out tree that you would be wrapped |
| in |
| Another man’s first |
| So take a dive |
| Take a dive |
| Take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise |
| So take a dive |
| Oh take a dive |
| Take that hair |
| Out of your downed eyes |
| While the waves are rain |
| And the sun yellow pane |
| Do they beat the drum to get you back home |
| Or do they beat it to keep you away |
| Will you burn your bridges down |
| Singing la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x2) |
| Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound |
| Singing la, la, la, la, la, la, la |
| Will you turn away? |
| How can you turn away? |
