A couple of horses racing through the city blow
The wealthy and the mighty
Makin' their faces known
You can feel it in the air
You can see it in their hands

And I see two girls lookin' up and smiling at me
As if they know something that I don't
But I know that the shadow will take
its prisoners long before the dawn

And I let drums play
I let the drums roll
I let the crowd sing another godly song
I watch the angel dance with the devil's horns
Till the silence comes back knockin' at the door
And I stop worrying about all the things I know
And I stop worrying about all the things I don't
And I let the drums play
I let 'em roll
Till tomorrow hands me another song

I know I'm getting older, I feel my body giving in
And every crashing wave is takin' me further out from here
I can feel it in the air
I can see it in my hands

And I let drums play
I let the drums roll
I let the crowd sing another godly song
I watch the angel dance with the devil's horns
Till the silence comes back knockin' at the door
And I stop worrying about all the things I know
And I stop worrying about all the things I don't
And I let the drums play
I let 'em roll
Till tomorrow hands me a different song

And I let drums play
I let the drums roll
I let the crowd sing another godly song
I watch the angel dance with the devil's horns
Till the silence comes back knockin' at the door
And I stop worrying about all the things I know
And I stop worrying about all the things I don't
And I let the drums play
I let 'em roll
Till tomorrow hands me a different song
