Grab It And It Passes You By (reworking)

GRAB IT AND IT PASSES YOU BY

Neon running down the street,
midnight moving underneath,
everybody wants a sign,
everybody waits in line.

You keep looking for the door,
while the rhythm hits the floor,
don’t you wait to wonder why—
grab it and it passes you by.

Grab it—
and it passes you by,
grab it—
before it slips out of sight.

Move it, feel it,
don’t ask why,
you gotta catch that moment
before it passes you by.

Faces flashing, red and blue,
someone’s dancing into you,
seconds falling from the sky,
little pieces of tonight.

No tomorrow on the floor,
you won’t get this beat once more,
when the fever starts to rise—
grab it and it passes you by.

Grab it!
Catch it!
Move it!
Don’t let it go!

Bass keeps talking,
drums don’t lie,
clavinet cutting
like a knife through the night.

Grab it—
and it passes you by,
grab it—
before it slips out of sight.

Touch it, taste it,
don’t ask why,
life is just a rhythm
and it passes you by.

Grab it!
Grab it!
Grab it while it’s alive!

Don’t wait—
don’t wait—
don’t wait for the perfect time.

Grab it…
and it passes you by.

Passes you by…
passes you by…
passes you by…
