[Verse]
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum wakes up.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
He'll have a real black eye this time.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
Hungover dream.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
He hung around too long last night.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum gets up.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
How will he feel about this one?
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The dream throws up.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
(He didn't feel too good this time.)


[Chorus]
E E B B
He's got it all.
E E A A
He's got it figured out.
E E B B
Dream in the hall,
E E A A
back in the hospital.
E E B B
I'm not concerned.
E E A A
He'll get it straight this time –
A A B B
And if he doesn't, fuck it –

[Verse] (Palm Muted)
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The gun goes off.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
He's always off about something.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum just nods:
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
the drum ain't listening at all.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum gets drunk,
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
the drum reads James Joyce in the drunk.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The dream falls down.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
The drum's face breaks the dreams fall.


[Chorus]
E E B B
He don't have shit.
E E A A
He's learned to live with it.
E E B B
The drum's in debt –
E E A A
you owe me don't forget –
E E B B
That 20 bucks,
E E A A A A B B
interest and moral support – and if you don't I swear –

A A B B A A B B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator.
A A B B A A B B
A A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity.
A A B B A A B B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator.
A A B B A A B B
A A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity.
A A B B A A B B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator.
A A B B A A B B
A A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity.
A A B B A A B B
This is our lifetime and I am his creator.
A A B B A A B B
A A young man slowly pulled apart by separate poles of gravity.


[Verse]
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum goes forth.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
He's got his flag unfurled or something.
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E B B
The drum won't stop,
E5 E5 Eb5/E Eb5/E A A
the drum's a menace to the public.


[Chorus]
E E B B
Hold your drum high.
E E A A
The drum is stoned again.
E E B B
Don't wake him up,
E E A A
he'll just start talking.
E E B B
The drum is dead.
E E A A
Long live the drum.
E E B B
The drum is dead.
E E A A
Long live the drum.
E E B B
The drum is dead.
E E A A
Long live the drum.
A A B B
And I - And I am his creator –
