I'd finished and was leaving on my way back to the street when i heard that shotgun drumbeat i turned back found a corner ordered whiskey neat then i heard that shotgun drumbeat something came alive in me and something else just died i don't know how to tell you I couldn't if i tried something came alive in me and something else just died it sliced my soul in two right then a gap, ten miles wide eyes closed waiting for a table with a seat and then i heard it once again that shotgun drumbeat twenty minutes and i was sitting with a coke and crown waiting, wishing for that god ****** shotgun sound something came alive in me and something else just died i don't know how to tell you I couldn't if i tried something came alive in me and something else just died it sliced my soul in two right then i listened to the music but, i never ever heard a sound like that shotgun drumbeat i'd been muddled in the words full out attack like Keith Moon back in the day I'd never heard the music Never heard what it could say something came alive in me and something else just died i don't know how to tell you I couldn't if i tried something came alive in me and something else just died it sliced my soul in two right then closing time came quickly faster than i would have thought i told myself this feeling would never go for naught now awakened by a drumbeat i was living, fresh, anew i could no longer hide that shotgun killed off something giving birth to something too something came alive in me and something else just died i don't know how to tell you I couldn't if i tried that ******* shotgun drumbeat made me feel alive i can't describe the feeling I couldn't if I tried
