Where Did the Beat Go?

I can hear planes flyin' over my head

Just hours before you occupied my bed

In our darkness, we conjured up sunlight

In our haste, our need, our thirst, we lost our sight

But I was inspired, tracin' the lines on your face

To the poetry, the first time I heard your name

When I trip from the your lips, my heart was like a kick-drum

And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Uh-oh, does he know?

I'm lyin' in the afterglow

That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no

Make him think he's crazy

While his paranoia grows

What he should be askin'

Is "where did our love go?"

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow

Oh, no (Beat go)

Where did the beat go?

Oh, no

In the afterglow

Where does the beat go?

Oh, no

Where did the beat go?

So how do I justify to the judge and the jury

The  voices in my head that caused this fury

Never had to play with matches to start a fire

But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire

I was your concubine and then your madonna

You couldn't see anything behind your baby's mama

How long is lonely supposed to last?

I was naked and waiting for you to come back

Uh-oh, does he know?

Lyin' in the afterglow

That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no

Make him think he's crazy

While his paranoia grows

What he should be askin'

Is "where did our love go?"

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow

Oh, no (Beat go)

Where did the beat go?

In another man's afterglow, no

Where does the beat go?

Where did the beat go?

In another man's afterglow

There's a cause and effect, although I took the steps

I dove off the bridge 'cause I had nothin' left

All I ever wanted was you

And in the absence of you

I fell through

Uh-oh, does he know?

Lyin' in the afterglow

That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no

Make him think he's crazy

While his paranoia grows

What he should be askin'

Is "where did our love go?"

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?

Where did the beat go?

In another man's afterglow

Where does the beat go?

Where did the beat go?

Where did the love go?

Where did the beat go?

Where did the love go?
