the drum beat.

THE DRUM BEAT

SOUNDS OF THE DRUMS BEAT
LIKE A RAPID HEART
BUM DIDEE BUM DIDEE BUM

THE CHASE IS ON
ITS DARK
THE MOON CASTS A SHADOW

THE MAN RUNS LIKE AN ANTELOPE
ON AFRICAS PLAINS
LEFT TO RIGHT , RIGHT TO LEFT
RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE

THE BOYS IN BLUE
TRACK HIS TRAIL
MISSING NOTHING
A SNAILS TRAIL

BEDLAM AND HARM
JEWELS UNDER ARM
BUM DIDEE BUM
THE MANS NOT CALM

HES BEEN A BAD MAN
HES DONE WHAT HES TAUGHT
HE RUNS FOR HIS LIFE
HE CANT GET CAUGHT

IF HE DOES HE’LL
DO THE TIME
NAUGHT TO LIFE
WHATS THE CRIME?

ROBBERY,MURDER
DRUGS AND CRIME
GOT NO FRIENDS
GUTTER AND GRIME

HES GUILTY AS FUCK
BUT HE KEEPS ON RUNNING
THE POLICE ARE GUNNING

TO TRACK HIM DOWN
AND PUT HIM IN A JAIL

HES GONNA GET FUCKED
HE’LL CHEW ON HIS NAIL

THE ENDING IS HE DOES GET CAUGHT
HE’LL SIT IN HIS CELL AND PONDER THE THOUGHT

WHY DID I DO IT AND WHAT DID I GAIN
IM ALL SHACKLED UP METAL AND CHAIN! By JAMES MCATEAR
