Lyrics
Different Drummer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She moves like nobody moves
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
She sees what nobody sees
Talks sense, never gives up easy
She speaks in what she does
When she speaks she says so much
All the world's a stage to her
She wants to bash and dance on it
She moves to a different drummer
Nobody tells the truth like she can
She moves to a different drummer
She's in time, she don't lie
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
Got to beat life on the street
Ears to the ground, wings on your feet
Keeps her head way above water
Carries herself like a west side daughter
That look, what about that
Like a left bank angel on the Bonneville Flats
She's so sweet, so damn gritty
She comes to wake me up when she gets up early
She moves to a different drummer
Nobody tells the truth like she can
She moves to a different drummer
She's in time, she don't lie
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
She's not afraid, afraid to be herself and says what she means
When I'm away, it's like I'm in hell, I'm so incomplete
I know she's on my side and that's honesty
Make no mistake
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
She moves like nobody moves
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
She sees what nobody sees
Talks sense, never gives up easy
She moves to a different drummer
Nobody tells the truth like she can
She moves to a different drummer
She's in time, she don't lie
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
Different Drummer, Different Drummer
