Puttin’ on a drum show

Completed check-list for today
Now they have to let you out of your cage
Feeling stuck between a rock and a home
Two places you did not want to go, so-so

He’s puttin’ on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He’ll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
You’ll never even say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it (Feel it)
He drives slow if the song’s not over (Feel it)
Drowning out, drowning out
Show

He’d rather feel something than nothing at all
So he swerves all around us
As his head starts to fall, turn it up
Stuck between a rock and a home
Two places he does not want to go, so-so

He’s puttin’ on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He’ll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
You’ll never even say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it (Feel it)
He drives slow if the song’s not over (Feel it)
Drowning out, drowning out

I’ve been this way
I want to change
I’ve been this way
I want to change

He’s puttin’ on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He’ll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
You’ll never even say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it (Feel it)
He drives slow if the song’s not over (Feel it)
Drowning out, drowning out

I’ve been this way
I want to change (Feel it)
I’ve been this way
I want to-
