The Beat Goes On

Thought that I'd died today

Walked off the stage

Faded away up through the clouds

To 'the gig in the sky'

And when I arrived, the angels were singing this song

Yeah you know the one, are you singing along?

I thought I'd know just what to do

That it'd be how I wanted it to

The Ox and Moon were counting me in

I had to give in

Make the thunder and lightning sing

In the eye of the storm, there's no right and no wrong

So long, so long

Someday all the world will sing my song

Still life remains

Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

I thought it was the end of the world

Beat with guitors, and all that I understand

Is air through metal and wood

I'm misunderstood

And wasted on money and fame

I'll throw it away

Just to prove that I can

I'm the last of a dying breed

And it's not the end of the world, oh no

It's not even the end of the day

So long, so long

Someday all the world will sing my song

Still life remains

Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on
