The Beat Goes On

????
Acting out on the big stage
He blows your mind
And you're wearing your dark glasses
Have you something to hide?
Oh no, not life again
Love sick, love, you're not my friend
Well you must be strong
'Cause the beat goes on
And we're dancing our last song
And the beat goes on
And you know you can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
No, the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

????
In through the back door
We have a surprise
She's dressed in dark satin
She closes her eyes
???
They're running away
If none of us can come together
Then none of us care
No no, not life again
Uh-uh, love sick, love, you're not my friend
Well you must be strong
'Cause the beat goes on
And we're dancing our last song
And the beat goes on
And you know you can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
No, the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

Yes, the beat goes on
And we're dancing our last song
And the beat goes on
And you know you can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
No, the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

Dynomite and this one tie for best chorus in my book.

I purchased Public Access on vinyl a couple months ago (Ebay), and I'd definitely have to say that hearing The Beat Goes On vinyl-ized totally revitalized that song for me. It was already one of my favorites, but it's absolutely amazing hearing it played on my 70's Technics record player.

This is such a perfect song to dance to; I was wondering if anyone knows of it being played live yet?

Ha--the eternal question. I think I ask that of at least one person in the band every time I see them play live. Who knows, they've had some time off to rehearse/write/etc., maybe it'll show up on the west coast tour.

This is the one song I really wanted them to do live, and no luck... Who know's maybe next time around :rolleyes:

after and the part:
"She closes her eyes"
it's
"And they shake"
"They're running away."

well at least i think so :)

i think it's "she closes her eyes.. hearing the people shriek"
and i also think if none of us can come together, then none of us live.
this song is so fun!
