lyrics

DIFFERENT DRUM
Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger here so far from it all I could buy souvenirs
Don’t get me wrong I see the door but I’m staying put couldn’t ask for more
I lean a little bit left I’m a little bit bent no not outta shape that’s quite well kept
My heart beats in three’s when four’s are the rage I’m a little Strauss waltz in my own parade
Oh grab your clarinets your saxophones your ticker tape baby
I’m bringin’ it home yes I’m

Chorus
Marchin’ marchin’ to the beat of a different drum and I don’t know
Don’t know where that rhythm’s comin’ from oh yes I’m
Marchin’ marchin’ to a war aint gonna be won oh
Strike up the band and watch me walk alone

Feels like I’m singing with the Jackson Five in a choir that only knows lullabies
I’m no daredevil as far as I’m concerned I see the lines I just like ‘em blurred
I’m a perfect tower more Pisa than Eifel spit shine with a little plaid flannel
I’m a thoroughbred cut out for the race but I tend to run it at my own pace
Oh grab your clarinets your saxophones your ticker tape baby
I’m bringin’ it home yes I’m

I fought so hard for the perfect fit could have marched in November with the veterans
But I’ve let down my guard no more Joan of Arc I’m keeping my eye on the north star

Watch me walk alone into this great unknown oh honey I can hold my own
