Beat Of The Drum

by Jean Beauvoir

on Bare to the Bones (2001)

There's a man that's watching does he lead the game
Gives you all for nothing then he starts it all again
Forming constellations there for just one night
Gives you aggravation but brings your dreams to life
Building castles that are made of sand
I've become yeah a victim of my demands

No I ain't lying I'm taking my time
Letting my head move to the beat of the drum
And I'll die trying to fill my desires
Always a dancer to the beat of the drum
And it's only just begun

Empty words get spoken well we all lose friends
If there's a heart that's broken I will mend it oh again
I just play the aces looking for the sun
Hide from those who are faithless so I don't come undone
I ain't searching for the promise land
But I won't climb this mountain with empty hands

No I ain't lying I'm taking my time
Letting my head move to the beat of the drum
And I'll die trying to fill my desires
Always a dancer to the beat of the drum
And it's only just begun
