Poe

My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet
Dear world i'm pleased to meet you
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Hey everybody when my daddy died
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
Hey everybody
Can you walk the walk you gotta back it all up
But can you talk the talk
Hey everybody
can you walk the walk?
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
(Say what?)
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum
I wanna take to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you
Give to the beat of my own drum
I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum
I wanna fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five
Pleased to meet you
My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in
He thought that he would never get back
Watched his dream walk across a silver screen
