Not Our Regular Drummer

Take a look who’s behind the kit,
he’s not our regular drummer;

Make no mistake he’s taken a life,
with that jackknife to a pounding heart;

So notorious, his beat’s ferocious.

He’s ransacked an alley and the bar,
on tour he remains midnight’s shadow;

Take a look you have seen him before,
in the corner of a club poster;

So ferocious, his beat’s notorious.

Bouncing from one band to another,
the cymbalist committing vile crimes;

Don’t try to memorize his face,
he has mastered immortal glamour;

Bloody scrumptious, a bit dangerous;
He’s not our regular drummer.
