The Beat Of The Night Lyrics

Bob Geldof

along
Yes I knew the words and I knew the tune
They were playing that beautiful song that went Yeah,
yeah, yeah (Yeah yeah yeah)(Yeah yeah yeah) (Yeah yeah
yeah) (Yeah yeah yeah)

And we moved in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
Rocked in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
Talkin' in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
The Beat of the Night (Yeah yeah yeah)
The Beat of the Night (Yeah yeah yeah)
The Beat of the Night (Yeah yeah yeah)

A black man slumped up against the door
And a Brown man lay face down on the floor
And a white woman sobbed on the second stair
And all the blood was red

And then they moved in the Beat
Rockin' in the Beat
Talkin' in the Beat
The Beat of the Night [x4]

Yes the tears of rage and the tears of anger flowed to
the river bank
And at the local disco dancehall they were cranking up
the skank
And the pulse of the noise went through the night into
the washed-up back of my feet
And I smelled the fear and I tasted blood and the
soundtrack was the Beat

As we moved in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
Rockin' in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
Murder in the Beat (Yeah yeah yeah)
The Beat of the Night (Yeah yeah yeah) [repeat til end]
