beat of life lyrics

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 parts
Of a violent game we have to play
I fear

She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)
She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)
(Beat of life)

She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)

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
The sickening feeling that I always cultivate
When she says

She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)
She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)

She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)
She says
"Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?"
(Do you dance?)

She says
She says

Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?
Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?
Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?
Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?
(Do you dance?)
