Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Ba da ba bum...

Oh oh oh oh...

Ba da ba bum...

Ba da ba bum...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

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 tracing the lines on your face

To the poetry the first time I heard your name

When I trip from 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

That 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 asking

Is where did our love ago

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow.

Where did the beat go?

Where is the beat?

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

That 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 asking

Is where did our love ago

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow.

Where did the beat go?

Where is the beat?

Where did the beat go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

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

I dove off the bridge cause I had nothing left

All I ever wanted was you

And in the absence of you

I fell through.

Uh oh, does he know

That 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 asking

Is where did our love ago

Then I wouldn't be baskin'

In another man's afterglow.

Where did the beat go?

Where is the beat?

Where did the beat go?

Where did the love go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Where did the beat go?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Where did the love go?
