I got no plans of my own Baby I live to serve When I hear that beating sound You know I live to serve Just as a blacksmith's furnace squeals And the rail men groan I'm every woman's man I hear the drums of love I hear the drums of love I see the dark clouds overhead I hear the drums of love Beating make me wish I was dead I keep my eyes peeled You build a house of light I'll learn to swim babe Visit you every night You give me shameless love I'll show you heathen delight Out in the Pasadena sun A simple paradise I'll keep my lips sealed You just beat that drum I live to serve babe I hear the drums of love I know the madness of love Bring a madman's reward See me live by the beat Now watch me die by its sword I'll learn to swim babe You just beat that drum I live to serve lately I serve anyone I hear the drums of love I see the dark clouds overhead I hear the drums of love Beating make me wish I was dead I hear the drums of love I see the dark clouds overhead I hear the drums of love Beating make me wish I was dead
