Perfectly Numb

These troubled days just go on, on and on 
I'm losing sleep and I sink like a stone 
Wanna call the Maker on the phone 
Ask him where the magic has all gone 

And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky 
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky 

And I'm leaving for good 
Oh, this time I am leaving for good 
This time is the right time, I'd stay if I could 
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 

These troubled days just go on, on and on 
Seems like a waste just to try to be strong 
All this melancholy wears me down 
A sentimental breakdown is coming around 

And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky 
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky 

And I'm leaving for good 
Oh, this time I am leaving for good 
This time is the right time, I'd stay if I could 
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
Yeah, the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb 
Oh, the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
