Jungle Drums

 My heart beats faster than a jungle drum
Harder than the monsoon rains
I swear you can hear it if you try
It’s bound to beat faster than the birds can fly

I listen to it and quicken my pace
I need to run, to flee from this place
There’s only one way in but two ways out
If I choose wrong I’ll scream and shout
     Scream and shout
           Scream and shout

My feet pound louder than a jungle drum
Slamming through rainy trees
I know you can find me if you try
They are bound to lead you right to my hide

I listen to it and quicken my pace
I need to run, to flee from this place
There’s only one way in but two ways out
If I choose wrong I’ll scream and shout
     Scream and shout
           Scream and shout

My hands open and close quicker than a jungle drum
Gripping rope to pull my load
I know you’re there, pulling back toward you
You’re bound to win if only you knew

If only you knew
If only you knew


I listen to it and quicken my pace
I need to run, to flee from this place
There’s only one way in but two ways out
If I choose wrong I’ll scream and shout
     Scream and shout
           Scream and shout
