These lyrics are from www.grinderman.com:

"I thought I saw a thundercloud on the avenue Lightning rattled through the streets, the little storm was you"

"Your skin is like the falling snow, your hair is like the rising sun Your tongue is like a kalishnakov or some other foreign gun I see you standing there way down upon the street Marching victorious with your banners of defeat"

Beautiful song. The battlefield of sex between two lovers who have not seen each other for some time. Hence "drumming on their way back home". And there is victory even in defeat because he sees himself conquoring and she submitting, even though they both strive to overpower/defeat the other, there is more victory in her defeat. It's really about intense passion.
