Heart Is A Drum - Beck

Free

As a driving wheel

Circling around your iron will;

See-

Only what you feel

Keeps you turning when you’re standing still

You tried to run from trouble;

when it comes

You follow the drum

Keeping time with everyone

High

As the light of day

Falling down across your lost highway;

Why

Does it hurt this way?

To come so far to find they’ve closed the gates?

You’ve lost your tongue;

when you fall from the pendulum

Your heart is a drum

Keeping time with everyone

Everyone

If they drown from the undertow

Need to find someone

To show me how to play it slow

And just let it go

Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinking sun

You follow the drum

Keeping time with everyone

Going, «beat, beat, beat»

It’s beating me down

«Beat, beat, beat, beat»

It’s beating me down

Day after day

It’s turning me round

Till all my days are drowning out
