《The Drum》歌词

[00:00:03] The Drum - Slapp Happy

[00:00:33] Get in line keep in time with the Drum

[00:00:35] And don't forget you're nothing yet but water

[00:00:39] Are you coming to or coming from

[00:00:42] The understanding that I'm handing it to you

[00:00:45] Or is that a job you don't dare do

[00:00:48] Hey my sweet patootie there's a letter for you

[00:00:52] (you'll find it on the shelf)

[00:00:55] Though it was posted in Calcutta

[00:00:57] I know it's just another that you've written to yourself

[00:01:09] We watched a distant drummer flashing

[00:01:15] On the beat on all his Parrot fashion

[00:01:22] Get in line keep in time with the Drum

[00:01:25] Don't forget we're nothing yet but water

[00:01:28] Don't move your feet until the next beat comes

[00:01:31] One of the laws says pause between

[00:01:35] Though I would hate to make the game seem mean

[00:01:38] Hey my pretty flower can you guess where I've been

[00:01:42] Can you guess at all

[00:01:45] Well I've been to your rooms and learned

[00:01:47] You have all the mirrors turned against the wall

[00:01:59] We watched a distant drummer flashing

[00:02:05] On the beat in all his Parrot Fashions

[00:02:12] Listen now to the sound of the Drum

[00:02:15] And don't forget we're nothing yet but water

[00:02:18] It won't be pleasant when the present time is done

[00:02:21] Testing nightly 'neath a sprightly summer moon

[00:02:24] Your spirit like a jelly in a spoon

[00:02:27] Hey my pretty flower there's a cat in the room

[00:02:31] And it's not the type you're used to

[00:02:35] Though I think I led it to the sink

[00:02:37] And tried to make it drink

[00:02:38] It refused to
