Wolf Parade - Bang Your Drum

The dying way was nearly dead

By the time we reached the water's edge

We saw the river beating on the river bank

Oh the way that it held us in her river bed

It's cold, it's dark

It's not for people with uneasy hearts

But if you're with me on the other side

Strike up the band, we have survived

Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home

Or do they beat it to keep you away?

Don't be surprised at your regrets

Don't feel surprised that the water made you wet

There's a shallow down river where the water will forgive ya'

So distend your luke warm bets

Follow me

Oh follow me

Allow me to play the voyager

I'll try to keep you as dry as the hollowed out tree

That he would be wrapped in another man's purse

So take a dive

Oh take a dive

Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise

Take a dive

Oh take a dive

Take that hair out of your damned eyes

While the waves are away at the Summer Delk Bay

Do they beat that drum to get you back home

Or do they beat it to keep you away?

Will you burn your bridges down

Singing la la la la la la la

Will you burn your bridges down

Singing la la la la la la la

Will you bang your drum to the brazen sound

Singing la la la la la la la

Will you turn away

How can you turn away
