still beating


I know the dog days of the summer


Have you ten to one outnumbered


Seems like everybody up and left


And they're not coming back


The shadow that you're standing on's still here


Sometimes that's all that you can ask


And your heart's still beating


You're not the fastest draw in town now


How many times you been shot down now?


Seems like everybody else could see


The things you never did


But if you could yourself


You'd probably never have made it through the things you did


And your heart still beating, yeah


I know the dog days of the summer


Have you ten to one outnumbered


It seems like everybody else saw


Trouble sneaking up behind


Left you half dead in the street


But that just means you're half alive


And your heart's still beating


Still beating, still beating


Still beating, still beating


Still beating, still beating


And your heart's still beating, yeah
