What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Get in line, keep in time with the Drum
2
And don't forget you're nothing yet but water.
3
Are you coming to or coming from
4
The understanding that I'm handing it to you?
5
Or is that a job you don't dare do?
6
Hey, my pretty flower, there's a letter for you
7
(you'll find it on the shelf)
8
Though it was posted in Calcutta
9
I know it's just another that you've written to yourself.
10
We watched a distant drummer flashing
11
On the beat in all his parrot fashions.
12
Get in line keep in time with the Drum
13
Don't move your feet until the next beat comes -
14
One of the laws says pause between
15
Though I would hate to make the game seem mean
16
Hey my pretty flower can you guess where I've been?
17
Can you guess at all?
18
Well I've been to your rooms and learned
19
You have all the mirrors turned against the wall.
20
I've watched a different drummer flashing
21
On the beat in all his Parrot Fashions.
22
Listen now to the sound of the Drum -
23
And don't forget we're nothing yet but water.
24
It won't be pleasant when the present time is done
25
Testing nightly 'neath a sprightly summer moon
26
Your spirit like a jelly in a spoon.
27
Hey ma jolie fleur there's a cat in the room
28
And it's not the type you're used to
29
Though I think I led it to the sink
30
And tried to make it drink
31
It refused to.
