The Beat

You keep on dancing to that well known beat
All I can think of is your teeth on the street
You keep on dancing, gotta keep it real tight
Put on the show and play your part
In the heat of the night

All the time
All of the time
All the time in my mind, you see
Been turning my dials
Searching through files
Every bit of me under scrutiny

You won’t believe the things I’ve seen
Or the things I’ve done

You keep on dancing to that well known beat
All I can think of is your teeth to the curb of the street

All the while
All of the while
All the while I’ve been standing here
It’s accurate smiles
Adequate nods
Authentic answers to your shit

You won’t believe the things I’ve seen
Or the things I’ve done
I never believed a thing I said
Did anyone? 

You keep on dancing to that well known beat
All I can think of is your teeth on the street
You keep on dancing, gotta keep it real tight
Put on the show for the heat of the night

You keep on dancing to that well known beat
All I can think of is your teeth on the street
You keep on dancing, gotta keep it real tight
Put on the show and play your part
In the heat of the night

You won’t believe the things I’ve seen
Or the things I’ve done
I never believed a thing I said
Did anyone?
