[Verse 1]
I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive

[Hook]
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer?

[Chorus]
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
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

[Verse 2]
If we'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 still beats
[Hook]
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

[Chorus]
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
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

[Verse 2 repeated]
If we'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 still beats

[Hook]
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
[Verse 1 repeated]
I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive

[Hook]
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

[Outro]
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
