Lonely Drummer

When the curtains go up and the lights go down There's a spotlight on the stage People drive down from miles around town Getting all in a rage And at the top of the hour, there's a driving power That makes the people move And it's all because of the lonely drummer Who's laying into the groove Well the lead singer shouts and belts it out And the bass is slapping and popping Lead guitar is a super star And the riffs are never stopping And in the back, all alone, sitting high on a throne Moving everyone to their feet Is the one and only lonely drummer Who's pounding out the beat Well the lights go up and the curtains, down And the band must retire No one knows where the music goes Like a burnt out amplifier But if we're wise, we know there's another show No matter how far we roam So let's hear it, once more, for the lonely drummer Bringing it all back home Yeah, let's hear it, once more, for the lonely drummer Bringing us all back home
