Im changing, you dont understand
Like all the words from Kerouac
Im standing still, even if the floor cracks
My baby you dont have to hold me anymore
You know what I do when Im alone ?
You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong?
You know how I got to where I am?
Lemme, lemme, lemme
Lemme show you how you do that
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
And you can go and do your thing
Im cool enough tolet you breath
I feel the beat even when youre gone
I dont need to be told where Ill be when Im old
You know what I do when Im alone?
You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong?
You know how I got to where I am?
Lemme, lemme, lemme
Lemme show you how you do that
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I still remember who I was
A little girl without a chance
Now that Im changing
The world Im embracing
Baby what are you gonna do with your lady?
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da , drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
