lyrics

ON AND ON THE SIGNAL DRUM/ THE ONE THAT CALLS US HOME/ WE SIT IN CALM AND WAIT FOR FUN AND STARE DEAD AT OUR PHONES/ THE SORRY SUNG WERE SIMPLY RUNG AND THROWN OUT IN THE COLD/ I'LL HOLD MY TONGUE AND COUNT TO ONE/OH GOD I'M GETTING OLD...YEAH/ OH I ATE HER ALL AWAY/ YOU'RE NEVER GONNA TASTE THE SAME...
OFF AND ON THE LIGHTS ARE GONE AND ONE OF US MUST GO/ I'LL DIG YOUR GRAVE ON MY FRONT LAWN/ AND FLOWERS THERE WILL GROW/ IT'S BEEN TOO LONG/ WERE YOUR PARENTS WRONG? WERE YOU SPOILED FROM THE GO? DID YOU LEARN A THING FROM YOUR 'HUM-DRUM'/ DID YOU TRY TO STEAL THE SHOW AWAY...WASH IT AWAY...ALL AWAY...
ON AND ON THE SIGNAL DRUM/ THE ONE THAT BROUGHT US HOME/ WAS BEATING ON AND ON BEFORE THE FIRES OF OUR FOES/ AND ONE BY ONE THE BEAT GOES ON/ AND ENDS WHERE NO ONE KNOWS/ YEAH/ THE SIGNAL DRUM WAS BORN TO RUN ON FLESH AND BLOOD AND BONE...ALL DAY...YEAH YOU WASH IT ALL AWAY/ AND IT'LL NEVER TASTE THE SAME
