Different Drummer — Tom Cochrane

She moves like nobody moves Like a cat on a hot tin roof She sees what nobody sees Talks sense, never gives up easy

She speaks in what she does When she speaks she says so much All the world's a stage to her She wants to bash and dance on it

She moves to a different drummer Nobody tells the truth like she can She moves to a different drummer She's in time, she don't lie Different Drummer, Different Drummer Different Drummer, Different Drummer

Got to beat life on the street Ears to the ground, wings on your feet Keeps her head way above water Carries herself like a west side daughter

That look, what about that Like a left bank angel on the Bonneville Flats She's so sweet, so damn gritty She comes to wake me up when she gets up early

She moves to a different drummer Nobody tells the truth like she can She moves to a different drummer She's in time, she don't lie Different Drummer, Different Drummer Different Drummer, Different Drummer

She's not afraid, afraid to be herself and says what she means When I'm away, it's like I'm in hell, I'm so incomplete I know she's on my side and that's honesty Make no mistake

Different Drummer, Different Drummer Different Drummer, Different Drummer

She moves like nobody moves Like a cat on a hot tin roof She sees what nobody sees Talks sense, never gives up easy

She moves to a different drummer Nobody tells the truth like she can She moves to a different drummer She's in time, she don't lie Different Drummer, Different Drummer Different Drummer, Different Drummer
