lyrics

We advance together, in step and in time--
rarely deviating from this path
Each gaze is unwavered not to break our stride,
on occasion break into a laugh.
But then your sudden anger changes all the rules—
the pieces of the puzzle that don’t fit
But if I were to tell you how I really feel,
I don’t think you could take it--
I know you couldn’t take it…

I tried shouting in your ear, you never heard a word
I don’t believe you can hear: your din is deafening.
I don’t think I can see you, my vision has been blurred
A consequence of listening to a different drummer.

Solidly on the beat and in perfect tune,
our rhythm would be unmatched by none
When we were both in sync, uncanny it seemed
to portend even bigger things to come.
When there upon your snare drum a thunderous single crack--
wondering when the next one’s gonna hit
But if I were to tell you how I really feel,
I don’t think you could take it--
I know you couldn’t take it…

I tried shouting in your ear, you never heard a word
I don’t believe you can hear: your din is deafening.
I don’t think I can see you, my vision has been blurred
A consequence of listening to a different drummer--

Marching to the precipice…don’t look down, mm-mm-mm…
We travel to a different drum, but is it the same one? Different drummer.

I tried shouting in your ear, you never heard a word
I don’t believe you can hear: your din is deafening.
I don’t think I can see you, my vision has been blurred
A consequence of listening to a different drummer--

Marching to the precipice--don’t look down, mm-mm-mm
We travel to a different drum, is it the same one?
Different drummer.

Different drummer, marching to the precipice…
Don’t look down, mm—mm--mm.
Different drummer, if I fall down to my knees,
Are you around? Nn—nn—nn.

Different drummer, feel my heartbeat…
I came that summer to beat the heat
We travel to a different drum…

Different drummer, feel my heartbeat…
I came that summer to beat defeat
We travel to a different drum, but is it the same one?
Different drummer.
