the beat goes on

thought that i died today, walked off the stage, faded away into the clouds, to the gig in the sky, and when i arrived, the angels were singing a 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 be of so new, but counting me in, i had to give in, make the thunder and lightning sing, in the eye of the storm there's no right and no 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, deep with guitars and all that i understand, is air through metal and wood, i'm misunderstood, wasting my money and fame, i'd 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
