Beat the Drum Slowly by Timber Timbre Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deco tower, rainbow fountain shower
Crystal column, silver tabloid entry
The celebrity century
A faded trait of the golden age
That flickered out into celluloid ashes
Phantasms fantastic

[Refrain]
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche
Outran the avalanche to the cameras rolling
We beat the drum slowly

[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
