I Got a Drum

I got a drum that your heart couldn’t beat
You got a pistol that my eyes couldn’t meet
We got a future that I’m struggling to see
We got a future that I’m struggling to see

...and you know how it goes

Snakeskin lies make me holler and hope
Red-blooded words make it harder to harder to cope
You hang my heart with your sweet sugared rope
You hang my heart with your sweet sugared rope

...and you know how it goes

Bird cries and sun-flooded lies
I took your words and kept them close by my side
I kept them watered but they wilted and died
I kept them watered but they wilted and died

...and you know how it goes

I got a drum that your heart couldn’t beat
