Beat of Life

(Claude S.)
(My affection is the focus of it all)
(Beat of life)
(Beat of life)
(Beat of life)
(Did you know that I felt you move apart?)
She says to me,
";Do you know
That I've felt you move apart?";
Then I say,
";Imagination is a silly game we play.";
And then I stare into her eyes
Think and stop to realize
That this is more than she could hope to know
And she said...
She says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
to the beat of life?";
She says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
to the beat of life?";
(Beat of life...)
I call her house
I get an answer on the damned machine again...
She's out too late
And not a call to tell me where she'll be tonight...
And then I start to think and realize
The way she acts is only part
Of a violent game we have to play
I fear...
She says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
To the beat of life?";
She says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
To the beat of life?";
(Beat of life...)
She says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
To the beat of life?";
Here we go
(My affection is the focus of it all)
I say to her,
";Why can't you see that we evade the fall?";
She says to me,
That her affection is the focus of it all
And then I take her in my arms
And it seems to go away...
That sickening feeling that I always cultivate
When she says,
";Do you dance, do you dance
To the beat of life?";
(repeat to end)
