letra de a beat behind - bernadette peters
[instructor, spoken]
one, two, three, four
lift those legs up
[instructor]
higher
it’s time to perspire
i wanna know where your fire is
harder
now show me some ardor
before you retire from the biz
[paula]
thirty-five, and i can’t go the distance
i’m a beat behind
half alive, since my whole d-mned existence
is a beat behind
i’m gone to seed
and in need of condemning
i’ve got the drive to survive of a lemming
time made me obsolete
and a beat behind
[instructor]
push it, class
’cause it gets tougher
paula, you’re a beat behind
arms apart
for your art, suffer
paula, move your sweet behind
stop looking glum, overcome by inertia
some season soon
tommy tune may rehe-rs- ya
he’ll keep you on your feet
till you lose your mind
you’re a beat behind
[class]
paula, what happened to paula
so sad to see paula fall apart
[paula]
out of breath, out of shape
and exactly as i thought, behind
look at her with the lungs of madonna
and a taut behind
somebody get me an antidepressant
she’s at the most
maybe post-adolescent
time can be so unkind
i’m a beat behind
this is so perverse
better call a nurse
better yet a he-rs-
[instrumental]
[paula]
i thought i’d bounce right back
a job would fall in place
but what is so appalling is
i’m falling on my face
well at least
i’ve got a roof over my head
but if i must die
i’d rather die in bed
someone wake me
i am in a nightmare
i’ve got no stamina
[class]
sweat till you’re sleek
at the peak of condition
they’re doing shows
now with no intermission
[everyone & paula]
step it up, play the part (someone)
show your stuff
and let your heart rate climb (wake me)
pour it on (i am in a nightmare)
let ’em know that
your body’s workin’ (i’ve got no stamina)
o-ver time
[everyone]
no time to rest
time to test your endurance
[paula]
laid up, in pain
but no health insurance
[everyone]
dance like astaire
with unerring precision
brain cells employed to avoid a collision
[paula]
i’ve got a flat, rent-controlled
and a daughter
i’d trade ’em both
for a teaspoon of water
[everyone]
back to the broadway grind
you’re a beat be-hind
a beat be-hind
a beat be-hind
be-
[paula]
hind
[everyone]
hind
