Beat The Drum Slowly Lyrics - Hot Dreams - Timber Timbre

Deco tower, rainbow fountain showers 

Crystal columns, silver tabloid entry 

The celebrity cemetery 

A faded trail of a golden age 

that flickered out into celluloid ashes 

phantasms fantastic 

Outran the avalanche 

Outran the avalanche 

Outran the avalanche 

To the cameras rolling 

We beat the drum slowly 

The family jewels, the swimming pool 

yards marked by emerald coffins 

we heard crimes often and softly 

a mystery mist, new systems shift 

things recognized from television channels 

nostalgia signals, unscrambled. 

Outran the avalanche 

Outran the avalanche 

Outran the avalanche 

To the cameras rolling
