Lyrics Walk the Walk - 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
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
Hey
everybody
When
you
walk
the
walk
you
gotta
back
it
all
up
But
can
you
talk
the
talk
Hey
everybody
when
I
hear
the
knock
Don't
want
to
measure
out
my
life
to
the
tick
of
a
clock
Hey
every
Hey
everbody
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
live
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
laugh
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
hang
ten,
high,
say
pleased
to
meet
you
Take
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
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
(hey
get
back)
Watched
his
dream
walk
across
a
silver
screen
And
he
was
standing
there
when
the
theatre
went
pitch
black
Dear
world
I'm
pleased
to
meet
you
Hey
everybody
when
I
walk
the
walk
I
gotta
back
it
all
up
but
can
i
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
(4x)
--can
you
walk
the
walk?
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drums
(Say
what?)
I
wanna
live
(play)
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
laugh
(sing)
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
play
(pray)
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
hang
ten,
high,
say
pleased
to
meet
you
I
wanna
screw
up
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
I
wanna
take
it
out
of
town
and
do
it
to
my
drum
Scream
(shout)
Wipe
(out),
win
(loose),
wipe
(out)
Slumped
down
on
the
street
making
love
to
my
baby
Make
love
to
my
baby
Father:
It's
a
wonderful
idea,
but
it
doesn't
work.
My
own
drum
my
own
beat
Hey
did
you
ever
get
the
feeling
that
it's
really
a
joke
You
think
you've
got
it
figured
out
and
then
you
find
that
you
don't
So
you
say
goodbye
to
the
world
and
now
you're
floating
in
space
You
got
no
sense
of
nothing
not
even
a
time
or
a
place
Then
suddenly
you
hear
it
it's
the
beat
of
your
heart
And
for
the
first
time
in
your
life
you
know
your
life
is
about
to
start
I
wanna
walk
to
the
beat
of
my
own
drum
Daughter:
There's
someone
knocking
in
the
wall,
was
it
an
echo?
