Lyrics

Beat Of Your Drum

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.

Photograph king, watches you go

Now fashions may change, heaven knows

But you still leave a stain on me

Lowly to go, your colors may fade

Seasons may change, weather blows, but you still leave a mark on me

Wrong - negative fades - never the twain, reckless and tame

I like the beat of your drum

I like to look in your eyes

I like to look thru your things

I'd like to beat on your drum

I like the smell of your flesh

I like the dirt that you dish

I like the clothes that you wear

I'd like to beat on your drum

I'd beat it, I beat it, can't beat it, I feel it

Disco brat - follow the pack

Watching you peel, heaven knows

Prison can't hold all this greedy intention

Lowly need to go - picture you now

Music may change hi-di-ho keen to follow your nose

Wrong - love out of tune

Sweet is the night, bright light destroys me

I like the beat of your drum

I like to look in your eyes

I like to look through your things

I'd like to beat on your drum

I like the smell of your flesh

I like the dirt that you dish

I like the clothes that you wear

I'd like to beat on your drum

I'd beat it; I beat it; I beat it; I beat it

I'd like to beat on your drum (oh, yeah)

I'd like to beat on your drum (ah)

I like your face in the crowd

I'd like to beat on your drum

I'd beat it; I beat it; you beat it; I beat it

Can't beat it

Can't beat it

I beat it

Ah yeah

I'd like to beat on your drum

I'd like to beat on your drum

I'd like to yell it out loud

I'd like to beat on your drum

Can't beat it; can't beat it; I beat it; I beat it

Can't beat it

I beat it

Beat it out loud

Beat it out of the crowd

Beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it
