Vertical Rhythm

I got the beat, I got the beat, you know I do
Set the right kind of feeling for vertical rhythm
Night proof, wake up after dark

I ain't no weather man but I know it's gonna rain
You're predictable and typical
Always say the same thing
And you know you do

Out of reach, out of time
You always seem to be
Out of sight, out of mind
You always seem to be two steps behind
Two steps behind

Eye for an eye, nail for a nail, tooth for a tooth
What goes around comes back around
You'd better make the right move
Or you won't wake up at all

I ain't no better man but I know not to complain
You're so conventional, it's comical
How you always do the same thing
And you know you do

Out of reach, out of time
You always seem to be two steps
Out of sight, out of mind
You always seem to be

Just when you need it, just when you fear it
Just when you think it's over it begins again
Just when you think it's over it begins again

Ooh, out of reach, out of time
You always seem to be
Out of sight, out of mind
You always seem to be

Just when you think you've got yourself together
Just when you think you've got it made
Just when you think you've got yourself together
Just when you think you've got it made

Two arms meant to hold you
Meant to love you, do the right thing
Two arms meant to hold you
Meant to love you, do the right thing
Do the right thing, do the right thing
