“Broken Drum” is the eighth track off of Beck’s 2005 album Guero. The song’s original name was “Outerspace”.
The track is similar to the previous album Beck had released, Sea Change, in both tone and song structure. The song deviates from the mostly acoustic “Sea Change” slightly, as “Broken Drum”...
[Verse 1]
I see you there
Your long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
[Verse 2]
You know I'll laugh
And I won't take it back
I've seen your eyes
I know what you're thinking
[Verse 3]
And one by one
We'll shoot our guns
We'll have fun
Don't ever doubt it
[Verse 4]
And when I say
Fare thee well
My only friend
Oh, how the days go
Oh, how the days go
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Your setting sun
Your broken drum
Your little drugs
I'll never forget you
Never forget you
Never forget you
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
