Beat Alchemy

(hummmm) Yeah, keep

the

needle down

Step on the pavement,

counting out the cracks

Spilling little secrets on

the

quarter tracks Got

a pocket full of rhythm and an easy grin Watch the dust

turn to honey when the

tape spins

Give it that human touch,

make the rhythm breathe

Give me something real that you can't fake or weave (make it

breathe) Just a heartbeat walking down the concrete lane

Wash the iron clean in the midnight rain

Fingers on the fretboard,

gliding on the pine

Catching up to moments waiting in the line

Every little skip has a story to impart

Putting all that copper right back in the heart

(yeah, right back in)

Feel the hand on the skin of the drum

Let it linger before it's gone (ahhhh)

Give it that human touch,

make the rhythm breathe

Give me something real that you can't fake or weave (oh,

make it breathe now) Just a heartbeat walking down the concrete lane

Wash the iron clean in the midnight rain

Just a little touch

Right where it hits (hummmm)
