My affection is the focus of it all Beat of life Beat of life Beat of life Did you know that I felt you move apart? She says to me "Do you know that I've felt you move apart?" Then I say "Imagination is a silly game we play" And then I stare into her eyes Think and stop to realize That this is more than she could hope to know And she said She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Beat of life) I call her house I get an answer on the damned machine again She's out too late And not a call to tell me where she'll be tonight And then I start to think and realize The way she acts is only parts Of a violent game we have to play I fear She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) (Beat of life) She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) Here we go My affection is the focus of it all I say to her "Why can't you see that we evade the fall?" She says to me That her affection is the focus of it all And then I take her in my arms And it seems to go away The sickening feeling that I always cultivate When she says She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) She says "Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life?" (Do you dance?) She says She says Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life? Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life? Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life? Do you dance, do you dance to the beat of life? (Do you dance?)
