ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Sex Beat"
(Jeffrey Lee Pierce)

Johnny's got a light on his eyes and
Shirley's got a light on her lips
Jakes got a monkeyshine on his head and
Debra Ann's got a tiger in her hips
They can twist and turn they can move and burn
They can throw themselves against the wall
But they creep for what they need
And they explode to the call and then they move
Move
(Sex beat)
Sex beat, go

Stupid like I told ya,
Stupid like ya saw
Stupid as the simple thought
Of ever thinking at all
And all the mind, all the soul
All the body
All we know all the things that
Should have made us whole
All the colorless security
Was only so we could go
And move, move
(Sex beat)
Sex beat, drop

And yes you do look cool and
By the floodlights so blue
You make my tropical apartment bed,
Your sacrificial pool
My body in the water
And my heart is in your hand
So this is the way you choose to send
Me to the judgment land
So you can't move, move
Ooh...
(Sex beat)
Sex beat, go

And every day at three
Throw me down by the Christmas tree
I watched your lights blink on and off
While you start your fun with me
I, I know your reasons
I, I know your goals
We can move and burn forever
But you will never get my soul
So you can move, move
(Sex beat)
Sex beat, go
