Lyrics

Beat Connection

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

And nobody's falling in love

Everybody here needs a shove

And nobody's getting any touch

Everybody thinks that it means too much

And nobody's coming undone

Everybody here's afraid of fun

And nobody's getting any play

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

[Verse 2]

And nobody's falling in love

Everybody here needs a shove

And nobody's getting any touch

Everybody thinks that it means too much

And nobody's coming undone

Everybody here's afraid of fun

And nobody's getting any play

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

[Verse 3]

And nobody's falling in love

Everybody here needs a shove

And nobody's getting any touch

Everybody thinks that it means too much

And nobody's coming undone

Everybody here's afraid of fun

And nobody's getting any play

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

[Refrain]

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

It's the saddest night out in the U.S.A

[Chorus]

Beat connection, beat connection

Beat connection, beat connection

Beat connection, beat communication

Beat connection, beat communication

Beat connection, beat communication

Beat connection, beat communication

Beat connection, beat communication

Beat connection, beat communication

[Outro]

Beat communication, beat connection

Beat communication, beat connection

Refuse confusion (Beat connection)

Diffuse illusion (Beat connection)

Refuse confusion (Beat connection)

Diffuse illusion (Beat connection)

Diffuse illusion (Beat connection)

Refuse confusion (Beat connection)

Confuse diffusion (Beat connection)

You lose refusion (Beat connection)

Beat communication, beat connection
