Bang Your Drum Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
The dying light was nearly dead
by the time we reached the water's edge.
We saw the river beating on the river bank
Oh the way that it (something) the riverbed.It's cold
It's dark
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
Where the water will forgive you,
So spend your lukewarm betsFollow me, oh follow me;
Allow me to play the voyager.
I'll try to keep as dry
As the hollowed out tree that
You would be wrapped in another man's furSo Take a Dive
Oh Take a Dive
Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise
So Take a Dive
Oh Take a DiveOhohohohohTake that hair out of your damned eyes
While the waves are away
Now the sun will fade.Do they beat that drum to get you back home,
Or do they beat it to keep you away?Will you burn your bridges down
Singing lalalalalalalaWill you burn your bridges down
Singing lalalalalalalaWill you bang your drum to the blazing sound
Singing lalalalalalalaWill you bang your drum to the blazing sound
Singing lalalalalalalaWill you turn away?How can you turn away?
