Heartbeat by The Psychedelic Furs

 she's a heartbeat

yeah, she's a heartbeat

she's a door at the end of a dead end street

she's a heartbeat

and footsteps i hear her footsteps

here comes rumours and lies

here comes my life of crime

i hear footsteps

when the music goes down

and the traffic is stopped

and nobody talks at all

when they turn up the town

i hear a heartbeat

and i've shut all the shades

and the radio stops

and nobody moves at all

when the city's asleep

i hear a heartbeat

i hear a heartbeat

in the shadows

out in the shadows

it's like walking on glass

it's the end of the show

in the shadows

and sweet dreams

she sells you sweet dreams

it's like movies and trash

where there's always a girl

and she's sweet dreams

when the music goes down

and the traffic is stopped

and nobody talks at all

when they turn up the town

i hear a heartbeat

and i've shut all the shades

and the radio stops

and nobody moves at all

when the city's asleep

i hear a heartbeat

i hear a heartbeat

heartbeat

WELL DUDE IF ITS LATE AT NIGHT AND YOU HEAR A HEARTBEAT ITS PROBABLY TINITUS... THATS HOW IT STARTS... THEN YOU GO DEAF

if there was an audio dictionary this song would be listed under the term "80's song" . it is the epitome of 80's. and i am ashamed to admit i have never even heard of it until now. how did this escape me? makes me sad .


i like the line about her being a door at the end of a culdisac. it may feel like that at the beginning. but that door just leads to babies. and then you are stuck in another cudesac with a lame job and a minivan. so he should just run.
