Heart Is a Drum

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 followed the drum, keeping time with everyone High as the light of day You're falling down across your lost highway Pain, 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 I need to find someone to show me how to play it slow 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 around 'Til all my days are drowning out
