I'm changing you don't understand

Like all the words from Kerouac

I'm standing still even if the floor cracks

My baby you don't have to hold me anymore

You know what I do when I'm 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

I'm cool enough to let you breath

I feel the beat even when you're gone

I don't need to be told where I'll be when I'm old

You know what I do when I'm 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 I'm changing

The world I'm 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
