Beat

Sittin' in the back

The back of your car

Said it would be easy, we didn't make it very far

And we rode it like armour

A mind, a machine

Sittin' in silence and you can feel what I mean

Maybe it's the leaving or the rain that never falls

Maybe I'm just tired of working like a dog

For you, for him, forever

Downtown's lights made it hard to see

But you were there waiting, waiting for me

Leaning on your car you said I thought you quit

You know you shouldn't smoke and you told me you did

Without the random there can be no new thing

Without you here I'd be nothing

Or maybe, I'm just tired, of repetition

I throw caution in the mirror, see my reflection in the wind

Never like what I see, I always look again

And I, call out your name, though it's been called before

Is it wrong of me to wake up on your floor?

I guess I just missed you and wanted to see your face

And I know it kills ya to see me this way again

But you can't be beat

And it was just a dream, one I refused to have

And I wake up in the morning

Knowing there's something I could have had

A stranger's nightmare or a poet's dream

Well, I do my work somewhere in between

And you held me in your thrall like a beautiful friend

And we'll always be moving, we'll be running till the end

And that's fine by me

Because you can't be beat

And that's fine by me

Because you can't be beat
