Lyrics Rhythm Of My Heart

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
Where they're downing only deer
A hundred steel towns away

[Chorus:]
Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
Light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
Oh baby

[Chorus]

Oh I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face

[Chorus][x23]
