Testo Bang your drum Wolf Parade

Bang your drum

The dying light was nearly dead
by the time we reached the water's edge.
We saw the river beating on the river bank
Oh the way that it (something) the riverbed.

It's cold
It's dark
It's not for people with uneasy hearts,
But if you're with me on the other side
Strike up the band; we have survived.

Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home,
Or do they beat it to keep you away?

Don't be surprised at your regrets.
Don't be surprised that the water made you wet.
There's a shallow down river
Where the water will forgive you,
So spend your lukewarm bets

Follow me, oh follow me;
Allow me to play the voyager.
I'll try to keep as dry
As the hollowed out tree that
You would be wrapped in another man's fur

So Take a Dive
Oh Take a Dive
Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water rise
So Take a Dive
Oh Take a Dive

Ohohohohoh

Take that hair out of your damned eyes
While the waves are away
Now the sun will fade.

Do they beat that drum to get you back home,
Or do they beat it to keep you away?

Will you burn your bridges down
Singing lalalalalalala

Will you burn your bridges down
Singing lalalalalalala

Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound
Singing lalalalalalala

Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound
Singing lalalalalalala

Will you turn away?

How can you turn away?
