Beat of Life

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?)
