The Hitmen - The Hard Heartbeat

From the album Torn Together (1981)
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat
The candles on the birthday cake
Are burning out and no one's celebrating
In all the pictures that you make
I stand alone where no one else is waiting
Count the times you robbed me blind
'Cos I believed your promises to call
And all the guys who fed me lines
They couldn't really give a damn at all
You'll get your chance
You can watch when they dance
They get down on their knees
When they shout
You don't know-you just hear
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat
Count the times that you have cried
Before you count it time for celebration
Teardrops that should never dry
Will disappear when we get on that station
You'll get your chance
You can watch while they dance
They get down on their knees
When they shout
You don't know-you just hear
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
The hard heartbeat-it never ends
