Beat the Drum Slowly lyrics

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 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 To the cameras rolling
