Poe - Walk The Walk lyrics

My mother spent ten years sitting by a window Scared if she spoke, she would die of a heart attack She listened as her dreams silently screamed They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet Dear world, I'm pleased to meet you Hey, everybody, when you walk the walk You gotta back it all up you, can you talk the talk? Hey, everybody when I hear the knock Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock? Hey, everybody when my daddy died He had a sad, sad story livin' in his eyes Hey, everybody when you walk the walk You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock I wanna walk of my own drum I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum Walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum Hey, everybody, when you walk the walk You gotta back it all up but can you talk the talk? Hey, everybody, when I hear the knock Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey, every, hey, everybody I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums Walk to the beat of my own drums I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums, hey Walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna live to the beat of my own drum I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum I wanna hang ten high, say pleased to meet you Take to the beat of my own drum I wanna give to the beat of my own drum Fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five Pleased to meet you My Daddy spent ten years living on the outside, looking in He thought that he would never get back, hey, get back Watched his dream walk across a silver screen And he was standing there When the theater went pitch black Dear world I'm pleased to meet you Hey, everybody when I walk the walk I gotta back it all up, can I talk the talk? Hey, everybody, when I hear the knock Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey, every, hey every, hey every, hey everybody Can you walk the walk? I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums Walk to the beat of my own drums I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums, hey Play to the beat of my own drum I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum I wanna play to the beat of my own drum I wanna hang ten high, say pleased to meet you Screw up to the beat of my own drum I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum Scream shout, hide out, win, lose Wipe out, saunter down my street Make love to my baby Make love to my baby It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work My own drum, my own beat MY own drum, my own, own, own, own Hey, did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke? You think you've got it figured out And then you find that you don't? So you say goodbye to the world And now you're floating in space? You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place? Then suddenly you hear it, it's the beat of your heart And for the first time in your life You know your life is about to start? Oh, yeah, bring it on Hey, everybody, hey, everybody Hey, everybody when you walk the walk You gotta back it all, back it all, back it all, back it all up I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum There's someone knocking in the wall Was it like an echo?
