Big Kettle Drummer

from How To Avoid Your Past by Mike Bell™

/

lyrics

well the big kettle drum beats on and on
out across the sea
and i now know what's bothering me
i got to just keep moving on
so that big kettle drum that beats on and on
scares the living shit out of me

and the girl that i met that lays in my bed
is there when the sun shines bright
well the big kettle drum beats on and on
and begs to cross the sea
and if you know what i'm talking about
then i hope someday we can meet
with that big kettle drum beatin' on and on
we'll stack up memories.

that picture book she always took everywhere now stay with me
in my head, in the bed, i'm laying with the dead

there will be no one when the world moves on
just you, me, and the sea
me, kettle drum, and a bottle of rum washing out in to dreams

the big kettle drum beats on and on wishing me across the sea
and the girl for me is underneath covers of red and pink
and the big kettle drum pushes me on and on away into the sea
from the girl for me who's underneath those covers of red and pink.
