A Beat Behind

Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4, lift those legs up Higher, it's time to perspire I wanna know where your fire is Harder; now show me some ardor Before you retire from the biz Thirty-five And I can't go the distance I'm a beat behind Half alive Seems my whole damned existence Is a beat behind I'm gone to seed And in need Of condemning I've got the drive To survive of a lemming Time made me obsolete And a beat behind Push it class Cause it gets tougher Paula, you're a beat behind Arms apart For your art, suffer Paula, move your sweet behind Stop looking glum Overcome my inertia Some season soon Tommy Tune May rehearse ya He'll keep you on your feet Till you lose your mind You're a beat behind Paula, what happened to Paula? So sad to see Paula fall apart Out of breath Out of shape And exactly as I thought Behind Look at her With the lungs of Madonna And a taut behind Somebody Get me an anti-depressant She's at the most Maybe post-adolescent Time can be so unkind I'm a beat behind This is so perverse Better call a nurse Better yet a hearse ♪ I thought I'd bounce right back A job would fall in place But what is so appalling is I'm falling on my face Well, at least I've got a roof above my head But if I must die, I'd rather die in bed Someone Wake me I am in a nightmare I've got No stamina Sweat till you're sleek at the peak of condition They're doing shows now with no intermission Step it up Play the part Show your stuff And let your Heart rate climb (Wake me) Pour it on (I am in a nightmare) Let 'em know that Your body's workin' Over time (I got no stamina) No time to rest time to test your endurance Laid-up, in pain, but with paid up insurance Dance like Astaire, with unerring precision Brain cells employed to avoid a collision I've got a flat- rent controlled- and a daughter I'd trade them both for a teaspoon of water Back to the Broadway grind You're a beat behind A beat behind A beat behind Behind
