《A Beat Behind》歌词

[00:00:00] A Beat Behind - Original Broadway Cast Recording

[00:00:03] 1 2 3 4 lift those legs up

[00:00:06] Higher it's time to perspire

[00:00:12] I wanna know where your fire is

[00:00:19] Harder now show me some ardor

[00:00:24] Before you retire from the biz

[00:00:32] Thirty five

[00:00:33] And I can't go the distance

[00:00:35] I'm a beat behind

[00:00:38] Half alive

[00:00:39] Seems my whole damned existence

[00:00:41] Is a beat behind

[00:00:45] I'm gone to seed

[00:00:46] And in need

[00:00:47] Of condemning

[00:00:48] I've got the drive

[00:00:49] To survive of a lemming

[00:00:51] Time made me obsolete

[00:00:53] And a beat behind

[00:00:58] Push it class

[00:00:59] Cause it gets tougher

[00:01:00] Paula you're a beat behind

[00:01:04] Arms apart

[00:01:05] For your art suffer

[00:01:06] Paula move your sweet behind

[00:01:10] Stop looking glum

[00:01:11] Overcome my inertia

[00:01:13] Some season soon

[00:01:15] Tommy tune

[00:01:15] May rehearse ya

[00:01:16] He'll keep you on your feet

[00:01:19] Till you lose your mind

[00:01:22] You're a beat behind

[00:01:26] Paula what happened to Paula

[00:01:31] So sad to see Paula fall apart

[00:01:39] Out of breath

[00:01:40] Out of shape

[00:01:40] And exactly as I thought

[00:01:43] Behind

[00:01:45] Look at her

[00:01:46] With the lungs of Madonna

[00:01:48] And a taut behind

[00:01:51] Somebody

[00:01:52] Get me an anti depressant

[00:01:54] She's at the post

[00:01:56] Maybe post adolescent

[00:01:57] Time can be so unkind

[00:02:00] I'm a beat behind

[00:02:03] This is so perverse

[00:02:06] Better call a nurse

[00:02:09] Better yet a hearse

[00:02:55] I thought I'd bounce right back

[00:02:57] A job would fall in place

[00:03:00] But what is so appalling is

[00:03:03] I'm falling on my face

[00:03:07] Well at least I've got a roof above my head

[00:03:12] But if I must die I'd rather die in bed

[00:03:19] Some one

[00:03:22] Wake me

[00:03:24] I am in a

[00:03:26] Nightmare

[00:03:28] I've got

[00:03:30] No stamina

[00:03:31] Sweat till your sleek at the peak of condition

[00:03:34] They're doing shows now with no intermission

[00:03:37] Step it up

[00:03:38] Play the part

[00:03:39] Show your stuff

[00:03:40] And let your

[00:03:41] Heart rate climb

[00:03:43] Pour it on

[00:03:44] Let 'em know that

[00:03:46] Your body's workin'

[00:03:48] Over time

[00:03:50] No time to rest time to test your endurance

[00:03:53] Laid up in pain but with paid up ensurance

[00:03:55] Dance like Astaire with un erring precision

[00:03:59] Brain cells employed to avoid a collision

[00:04:02] I've got a flat rent controlled and a daughter

[00:04:05] I'd trade them both for a teaspoon of water

[00:04:08] Back to the Broadway grind

[00:04:14] You're a beat behind

[00:04:18] You're a beat behind

[00:04:21] You're a beat behind
