lyrics

Four years after I left he sent me a single message
No accusation in it, no old business, nothing owed
He said you do not owe anyone an explanation, you know
And of the four of them he was the one I liked least

The drummer, the drummer, the drummer, the drummer
The one I liked least understood it first and alone
The drummer, the drummer, the drummer, the drummer
And I have given nine interviews and never said that

I still have not replied. It has been two years. I will.
That is the actual pattern and it has nothing to do with bands.

The drummer, the drummer, the drummer, the drummer
The one I liked least understood it first and alone
The drummer, the drummer, the drummer, the drummer
And I have given nine interviews and never said that
