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?

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 a storm
There's no right or wrong

So long, so long
Someday, all the world will sing my song
Still, life remains
Somewhere in my heart
The beat goes on

Thought it was the end of the world
Beat with guitars
And all that I understand is air
Through mental 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

So long, so long
Someday, all the world will sing my song
Still, life remains
Somewhere in my heart
The beat goes on

So long, so long
Someday, all the world will sing my song
Still, life remains
Somewhere in my heart
The beat goes on
