The Beat Songtext
von Damn Seagulls

They call me crazy
I don′t think it's true
It′s all so clear to me
When I'm with you
I think that I'm some kind of rebel
But what am I fighting for?
Oh, you gotta tell me
The other day
I tried to talk to God
I′m not sure I believe in you
But what have you got for me, Lord?
He said, "Boy, just play that damned guitar
I know it makes you feel alive
And think of these days
Don′t you wanna make them count?
'Cause you′ll feel just how they fly"
I break all the chains that are holding me down
Look at the horizon that's spinning around
Ain′t I too young to settle down?
I always fall for those country girls


But I need the pulse of the city
And I think to myself
I can't live without the beat
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, please
Let me in, I′m out in the cold
And I'm on my knees
Goddamn, I'm so lonely
And I haven′t found a cure
Oh, you gotta help me
Late last night
You came knocking on my door
Asking for some sugar in your tea
But I knew it was a no
Oh, now we′re back in the cellar of love again
And think of these days
Don't you wanna make them count?
′Cause you know they're about to end
I break all the chains that are holding me down
Look at the horizon that′s spinning around
Ain't I too young to settle down?
I always fall for those country girls
But I need the pulse of the city
And I think to myself
I can′t live without the beat
Please, open up my chains
I promise to change my ways
This feeling inside of me
Is haunting me over and over again
Oh, yeah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I break all the chains that are holding me down
Look at the horizon that's spinning around
I can't live without the beat
