My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window |
|
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack |
|
She listened as her dreams silently screamed |
|
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet |
|
Dear world i'm pleased to meet you |
|
Hey everybody when you walk the walk |
|
You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk |
|
Hey everybody when I hear the knock |
|
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock |
|
Hey everybody when my daddy died |
|
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes |
|
Hey everybody when you walk the walk |
|
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
Hey everybody |
|
Can you walk the walk you gotta back it all up |
|
But can you talk the talk |
|
Hey everybody |
|
can you walk the walk? |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
(Say what?) |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
(Say what?) |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna take to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you |
|
Give to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five |
|
Pleased to meet you |
|
My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in |
|
He thought that he would never get back |
|
Watched his dream walk across a silver screen |
|
And he was standing there when the theatre went pitch black |
|
Dear world I'm pleased to meet you |
|
Hey everybody when I walk the walk |
|
I gotta back it all up I vgotta talk the talk |
|
Hey everybody when I hear the knock |
|
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock |
|
Hey everybody--can you walk the walk? |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
(Say what?) |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
|
(Say what?) |
|
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna play to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you |
|
I wanna screw up to the beat of my own drum |
|
I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum |
|
Scream shout |
|
Wipe out |
|
Make love to my baby |
|
Father: It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work. |
|
My own drum my own beat |
|
Hey did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke |
|
You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't |
|
So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space |
|
You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place |
|
Then suddenly you hear it it's the beat of your heart |
|
And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start |
|
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum |
