"The Drum Strikes Back" lyrics
Spent years thinking
He was better off bitter
Loving to hate himself
It's a cold cold morning
Fresh pain is coming
But this time he's facing it
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
Customers are waiting
Fresh indignation
But he's not tuning in
He was struck by a vision
Of better living
If he puts a bit of work in
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
No longer on the common
Old friends say he's lost it
But he's got the sunshine in his eyes
Days are plus and minus
His life is just like this
He's got the rest of it on his mind
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
But you're hoping that it might hold you
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
No longer on the common
Old friends say he's lost it
But he's got the sunshine in his eyes
Days are plus and minus
His life is just like this
He's got the rest of it on his mind
(How long must I wait?)
The drum comes round the corner
(How much can I take?)
Blowing his horn off
(I can't wait all day)
He's got the whole world on his mind
(I'm not going to pay)
The world is coming/going
(Go easy on the brakes)
At one day older
(I'm busy can you wait?)
He's making it one more at a time
(Turn off the radio, it makes me insane)
How long must I wait?
How much can I take?
I can't wait all day
(He's making it one more at a time)
I'm not going to pay
Go easy on the brakes
I'm busy can you wait?
Turn off the radio, it makes me insane
(He's making it one more at a time)
How long must I wait?
How much can I take?
I can't wait all day
(He's making it one more at a time)
I'm not going to pay
Go easy on the brakes
I'm busy can you wait?
Turn off the radio, it makes me insane
(He's making it one more at a time)
He was better off bitter
Loving to hate himself
It's a cold cold morning
Fresh pain is coming
But this time he's facing it
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
Customers are waiting
Fresh indignation
But he's not tuning in
He was struck by a vision
Of better living
If he puts a bit of work in
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
No longer on the common
Old friends say he's lost it
But he's got the sunshine in his eyes
Days are plus and minus
His life is just like this
He's got the rest of it on his mind
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
And you're never gonna know what the future holds
But you're hoping that it might hold you
The drum comes round the corner
Taking his orders
He's got the whole world on his mind
Temptation coming/going
At twelve weeks sober
He's taking it one day at a time
No longer on the common
Old friends say he's lost it
But he's got the sunshine in his eyes

Turn off the radio, it makes me insane
(He's making it one more at a time)
How long must I wait?
How much can I take?
I can't wait all day

I'm not going to pay
Go easy on the brakes
I'm busy can you wait?
Turn off the radio, it makes me insane
(He's making it one more at a time)
