Don't Bang The Drum - The Waterboys

Well here we are in a special place

What are you gonna do here?

Now we stand in a special place

What will you do here?

What show of soul are we gonna get from you?

It could be deliverance, or history

Under these skies so blue

Could be something true,

But if I know you you’ll bang the drum

Like monkeys do

Here we are in a fabulous place

What are you gonna dream here?

We are standing in this fabulous place

What are you gonna play here?

I know you love the high life, you love to leap around

You love to beat your chest and make your sound

But not here man — this is sacred ground

With a Power flowing through

And if know you you’ll bang the drum

Like monkeys do

Here we stand on a rocky shore

Your father stood here before you

I can see his ghost explore you

I can feel the sea implore you

Not to pass on by

Not to walk on by

And not to try

Just to let it come

Don’t bang the drum

Just let it come

Don’t bang the drum

Just let it come

Don’t bang the drum

Do you know how to let it come now?

Don’t bang the drum

Just let it come now.

Don’t bang the drum…

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum

Don’t bang the drum
