Chorus
Beam into the future
An echo of the past
For all your hopes & glories are surely gonna last Somehow,
Cause the beat goes on, on & on
Reach into infinity,
Tomorrows gonna last
The path ahead will straighten out
you know it’s for the best
So just reach out to find some more oh
Verse 1
Words are always slipping from your mouth
Words always burning holes in me
All I could think to ask, is hold me closer to thee
I don't need a spirit guide, no I don’t need no guiding hand
It's all that I can do to try is find something to make you understand
Verse 2
You and I may find, some other crimes that pay, or stumble on something, that makes time pass away
Back to wrestling with doubt, and falling to the floor, not knowing how things will turn out, for the best
Sometimes I'm up and running, sometimes down a hole I sink, you can take me to the water's edge, but you can't always make me drink
Chorus 2 [REPEAT]
Middle Eight
So many roles to play, I’ve given all away, resisting all again.
You and I may find, some other crimes that pay, or stumble on something, that makes time pass away
Back to wrestling with doubt, and falling to the floor, not knowing how things will turn out,
So just reach out to find some more oh
Cause the beat goes on, on & on
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Sometimes I'm up and running, sometimes down a hole I sink, you can take me to the water's edge, but you can't always make me drink.
