I heard them marchin' down my street
I felt them coming
They were warriors of love,
I couldn’t flee
Then I, I saw this soldier standing out
Without a weapon he shot a bullet
Through my heart and I fell down
That was you and me,
You brought me to my knees
Your colors fading
When I first saw you,
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your own drum
The beat of your own drum
But now I see your uniform
You’re not a soldier
Just a boy who has no one to keep you warm
That was you and me You brought me to my knees
Your colors fading
When I first saw you,
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your own drum
My heart stood still
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your own drum
The beat of your own drum
When I first saw you,
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your,
The beat of your own drum
You better run,
Run as fast as you can
Or stick your head back into the sand
You’ve built these walls all over the land
But they’ll be tumbling down,
Tumbling down
When I first saw you,
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your own drum
My heart stood still
You were dancing
You were dancing away to the beat of your own drum
The beat of your own drum
