Calvin Farside - Continuous Beat Lyrics

Way back in time way back in the day
Before sold-out emcee's and whack dee-jay's
There was a beat created that defied men's ways
And you can hear it every time a record plays

The legend of the beat is spoken in whispers and fear
Cause it was candy to the ear but deadly to hear
It fights against slackness and is impossible to stop
And once the beat stops you know it just don't stop

And you can feel the beat in your bones
You can feel it in the air
It takes away your trouble and takes away your cares
So next time you listen to a tape or CD
Look for the only beat that can truly make you free

It'll take your mind away and knock you back in your seat
First you feel it in your head and then you're moving your feet
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat

Wipes out the last shadow of a shred of a doubt
It'll make you understand so well
You'll wanna stand up and shout
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat

There was a businessman by the age of thirty-five
Working full-time just to stay alive
He carried a briefcase he wore a shirt and tie
The beat took him away cause he was living a lie

It started when he was walking home one day
The bass dropped in and everything turned gray
He started shakin' and-a breakin' to that crazy beat
Screaming over and over the continuous beat

People stopped and stared as he crawled the asphault
And no one was sure what force was at fault
And now he's been in a pad and pen for close to twenty years
Freakin' to the beat that no one else can hear

It'll take your mind away and knock you back in your seat
First you feel it in your head and then you're moving your feet
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat

Wipes out the last shadow of a shred of a doubt
It'll make you understand so well
You'll wanna stand up and shout
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat

The beat begins with bass and snare
As regimented as platoons
A simple mocking clock it ticks
Invisible controls buffoons

Pinnochio among a sea
Of mimes and lies and strings and stages
Tragic sleuth who found the truth
He wonders why and screams and rages

Why am I the one who sees the darkness
And ponders the light
Why are such misguided minds
And pairs of eyes tricked by this sight

Where is reason common sense
And spirit set to break the bars
Cause we create the beat
That makes the black
That blocks the light from stars

It'll take your mind away and knock you back in your seat
First you feel it in your head and then you're moving your feet
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat

Wipes out the last shadow of a shred of a doubt
It'll make you understand so well
You'll wanna stand up and shout
It's the continuous beat
It's that continuous beat
