Songtexte

One, two, three, four
Lift those legs up
Higher
It's time to perspire
I wanna know where your fire is
Harder
Now show me some ardor
Before you retire from the biz
Thirty-five, and I can't go the distance
I'm a beat behind
Half alive, since my whole damned existence
Is a beat behind
I'm gone to seed
And in need of condemning
I've got the drive to survive of a lemming
Time made me obsolete
And a beat behind
Push it, class
'Cause it gets tougher
Paula, you're a beat behind
Arms apart
For your art, suffer
Paula, move your sweet behind
Stop looking glum, overcome by inertia
Some season soon
Tommy Tune may rehearse ya
He'll keep you on your feet
Till you lose your mind
You're a beat behind
Paula, what happened to Paula
So sad to see Paula fall apart
Out of breath, out of shape
And exactly as I thought, behind
Look at her with the lungs of Madonna
And a taut behind
Somebody get me an antidepressant
She's at the most
Maybe post-adolescent
Time can be so unkind
I'm a beat behind
This is so perverse
Better call a nurse
Better yet a hearse
I thought I'd bounce right back
A job would fall in place
But what is so appalling is
I'm falling on my face
Well at least
I've got a roof over my head
But if I must die
I'd rather die in bed
Someone wake me
I am in a nightmare
I've got no stamina
Sweat till you're sleek
At the peak of condition
They're doing shows
Now with no intermission
Step it up, play the part (Someone)
Show your stuff
And let your heart rate climb (Wake me)
Pour it on (I am in a nightmare)
Let 'em know that
Your body's workin' (I've got no stamina)
O-ver time
No time to rest
Time to test your endurance
Laid up, in pain
But no health insurance
Dance like Astaire
With unerring precision
Brain cells employed to avoid a collision
I've got a flat, rent-controlled
And a daughter
I'd trade 'em both
For a teaspoon of water
Back to the Broadway grind
You're a beat be-hind
A beat be-hind
A beat be-hind
Be-
Hind
Hind
