My Beat Lyrics

My Beat lyrics

Past the derelict mattress

and the overgrown pavement

over the
tracks

and through the hole in the fence

Past graffiti-bright
buildings

and the junkyard alarm bell

and the screaming police
cars

and it's all present tense 



It's my beat

In my
new town 



Past the drunk woman reeling

with her bag of
provisions

Down through the tunnel

with the stink-fuming bus

On to the bike path

where it's something like freedom

and the
wind in my earring whispers

Trust what you must 



It's my
beat

In my new town 



Ancient and always

The wheel's
ever whirling

Today I'm riding

Tomorrow I walk

Step through
forever

into this very moment

The heart is pumping

and the
heart rocks 



It's my beat

In my new town
