The song is written by Jeffrey Lee Pierce. [Jeffrey Lee Pierce (June 27, 1958 - March 31, 1996) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He was one of the founding members of the 1980s punk band The Gun Club. He was a founding member of The Red Lights before forming The Gun Club and released several solo albums.]

It was released with The Gun Club's debut album 'Fire Of Love' in 1981 on Ruby Records.

The album is considered groundbreaking in being the first of its kind to combine the hard, stripped-down sound of punk rock with American roots musics.
In turn, this innovation helped to create the punk blues and psychobilly styles as well as inspiring countless garage rock musicians.
Several musicians have cited Fire of Love as an influence, most notably Jack White of The White Stripes, who has said of this album: "Why are these songs not taught in schools?"
In 1998 16 Horsepower recorded a cover of "Fire Spirit" for their 1998 EP,
The Partisan. In 2003 Enon covered the song "Sex Beat".
Juliana Hatfield's band Some Girls also covered "Sex Beat" for their 2003 album Feel It. In 2006, "Sex Beat" appeared on the soundtrack to the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.

The Flesh Eaters' singer Chris D. produced five tracks on the album ("Sex Beat", "Preaching the Blues", "Fire Spirit", "Ghost on the Highway" and "Jack on Fire").
Tito Larriva produced the album's other six tracks.
Chris D. was also credited with the cover design for the original release.

Lyrics

Johnny's got a light in his eyes and Shirley's got a light on her lips
Jakes got a monkeyshine on his head and Debra Ann's got a tiger in her hips
they can twist and turn they can move and burn
they can throw themselves against the wall
but they creep for what they need
and they explode to the call and then they move, move
Sex beat, go

They're stupid like I told ya, very stupid like you saw
very stupid as the simple thought of ever thinking at all
and all their mind, all their souls all their bodies all we know
all we know all the things that should a made us whole
all the colourless security was all that someone could go and move, move
Sex beat, drop

And yes you do look cool and by the floodlights so blue
you have made my tropical apartment bed, your sacrificial pool
my body in the water and my heart is in your hands
so this is the way you choose to send me to the judgement land
so you can't move, move
sex beat, go

And every day I agree you throw me down by the christmas tree
I watched your lights blink on and off while you start your fun with me
I know your reasons and I know your goals
we can fuck forever but you will never get my soul

Just so you can move
so you can move
so you can move
Sex beat
