Where Did The Beat Go?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohBa da ba bumOh oh oh ohBa da ba bumBa da ba bumOh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can hear planes flyin' over my headJust hours before you occupied my bedIn our darkness we conjured up sunlightIn our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sightBut I was inspired tracing the lines on your faceTo the poetry the first time I heard your nameWhen I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick-drumAnd it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone
Uh oh, does he knowThat I'm lyin' in the afterglowThat I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say noMake him think he's crazyWhile his paranoia growsWhat he should be askingIs where did our love agoThen I wouldn't be baskin'In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?Where is the beat?Where did the beat go?
So how do I justify to the judge and the juryThe voices in my head that caused this furyNever had to play with matches to start a fireBut it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desireI was your concubine and then your MadonnaYou couldn't see anything behind your baby's mamaHow long is lonely supposed to last?I was naked and waiting for you to come back
Uh oh, does he knowThat I'm lyin' in the afterglowThat I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say noMake him think he's crazyWhile his paranoia growsWhat he should be askingIs where did our love agoThen I wouldn't be baskin'In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?Where is the beat?Where did the beat go?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
There's a cause and effect although I took the stepsI dove off the bridge cause I had nothing leftAll I ever wanted was youAnd in the absence of youI fell through
Uh oh, does he knowThat I'm lyin' in the afterglowThat I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say noMake him think he's crazyWhile his paranoia growsWhat he should be askingIs where did our love agoThen I wouldn't be baskin'In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go?Where is the beat?Where did the beat go?Where did the love go?Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohWhere did the beat go?Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohWhere did the love go?
