The Drum (2015)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The drum wakes up He'll have a real black eye this time Hungover dream He hung around too long last night The drum gets up How will he feel about this one? The dream throws up He didn't feel too good this time [Chorus] He's got it all He's got it figured out Dream in the hall Back in the hospital I'm not concerned He'll get it straight this time And if he doesn't, fuck it [Verse 2] The gun goes off He's always off about something The drum just nods The drum ain't listening at all The drum gets drunk The drum reads James Joyce in the drunk The dream falls down The drum's face breaks the dream's fall [Chorus] He don't have shit He's learned to live with it The drum's in debt You owe me, don't forget That 20 bucks Interest and moral support And if you don't I swear [Bridge] This is our lifetime And I am his creator A young man slowly pulled apart By separate poles of gravity This is our lifetime And I am his creator A young man slowly pulled apart By separate poles of gravity This is our lifetime And I am his creator A young man slowly pulled apart By separate poles of gravity This is our lifetime And I am his creator A young man slowly pulled apart By separate poles of gravity [Verse 3] The drum goes forth He's got his flag unfurled or something The drum won't stop The drum's a menace to the public [Chorus] Hold your drum high The drum is stoned again Don't wake him up He'll just start talking [Outro] The drum is dead (The dream is dead) Long live the drum (Long live the drum) The drum is dead (The dream is dead) Long live the drum (Long live the drum) The drum is dead (The dream is dead) Long live the drum (Long live the drum) And I am his creator
