Talk is cheap; give me a word you can keep.

Come Take My Pulse

I trem­ble; they’re gonna eat me alive
If I stum­ble, they’re gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beat­ing like a ham­mer?
Beat­ing like a hammer?

Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps beat­ing like a ham­mer
Hard to be soft; tough to be ten­der
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a run­away train

Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps
Beat­ing like a hammer…

If you’re still alive, my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn’t I do?
I get wher­ever I’m going, I get what­ever I need
While my blood’s still flow­ing and my heart’s still
Beat­ing like a hammer…

If you’re still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn’t I do?
I get wher­ever I’m going, I get what­ever I need

While my blood’s still flow­ing and my heart’s still
Beat­ing like a hammer…
