The Rhythm of Youth

Instrumental

...and the great ones remember

I Got The Message

I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
it was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says I don't really miss you but I haven't tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say

well it's mine [They got this thing they call the rhythm of life]
Not Yours [It says to settle down & get a dog and a wife]
get down [And everybody's doing it all over the land]
on all fours [Et oui je ne comprends pas oh yes i don't understand]
it's long [I got the message and the message is clear]
and hard [I really really really really wish you were here]
this road [It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes]
to mars [I don't really miss you but I haven't tried yet]

Got a good thing, yeah, got you going
Everybody's moving, watch out it's showing
I have done a good thing I've got you dancing, Everybody's happy
I have done a good thing, I've got you moving, Everybody's dancing
They're really grooving
I have done a good thing don't dansez moderne
Everybody's happy

I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
it was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says I don't really miss you but I haven't tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say

C'est mon [They got this thing they call the rhythm of life]
C'est toi [It says to settle down & get a dog and a wife]
C'est nous [And everybody's doing it all over the land]
C'est cool [Et oui je ne comprends pas oh yes i don't understand]
C'est long [i got the message and the message is clear]

This road [it was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes]
Road to mars [I don't really miss you but I haven't tried yet]

It makes you wonder just who they really are
They say money is no object and we've got a car
They kidnapped Tony where did they go
They went to get it done before he got too old
They're incognito, they're into fame
They think they know it all you know their family's to blame
Isn't it funny, isn't it sad
You come up empty thinking bout the good times that you had
But:
I like, when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
I like, when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show

They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway

It makes you wonder 'bout the things they say
We are never gonna leave, we are never gonna stay
They talk for nothing, they talk for free
They talk behind your back and to you're face they're really sweet
Check out the language, check out the clothes
Their mother buys them shoes 'n where she get's them no-one knows
They go to parties to steal the show
By talking really loud 'n try to tell you what they know
But:
I like, when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
I like, when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show

They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway
They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me
I say: That's plain as day I hope you've got yours right anyway

I like when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know
Say, I like when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show
Say, I like when they haven't seen a thing and try to tell you where to go
Say, I like when they talk really loud trying to tell you what they know

What do they really know?

Antarctica -- Antarctica
Antarctica -- Antarctica
Ice Age is here, right in your town
Antarctica, look what you've done
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like you really know what I mean
Nightfall's heartbeat, the street's in a mess
On reflector, the beach is endless
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like you really know what I mean

It's my turn -- it's my turn

Antarctica -- Antarctica

No Day, no night, and always the sound
Ice Pressure ?? (Antarctica)
It's me that's found
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scene
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
Pictures moving, and always the whirls
Antarctica, where are you now (Antartica)
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scheme
And I, I feel like you're losing your dream
Antarctica -- Antarctica
Antarctica -- Antarctica
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
And I, I feel like I'm really lost in your seam
It's my turn -- it's my turn
It's my turn -- it's my turn
It's my turn -- it's my turn

I know the feeling I can see it in the mirror
It knows that I'm receptive and it knows that I am here
It's always quite confusing when I try to leave it home
I'll be walking going somewhere and I feel I'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It's always confidential and it knows I'm always right
I can hide it in believing what I'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same

If something in the world seems right then it is what I know
This is where I want to be, so this is where I go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security

I put on my coat and omit my hat
Get a grip on my umbrella I'm not looking back
Everybody's different but we're all quite the same
And the feeling comprehensive and the feeling in the range
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always quite supportive and it knows I'm always right
I can hide it in believing what I'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same

and if something in the world seems right then it is what I know
and this is where I want to be then this is where I go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security

I know the feeling I can tell you when it's there
It's crawling up my socks and it's running through my hair
It's always quite confusing when I try to leave it home
I'll be walking going nowhere and I'll feel I'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always confidential and it knows I'm always right
The feelings there to tell me what I'm doing is not a game
and the feeling keeps me feeling that it likes it just the same
and something in the world seems right and this is what I know
and if this is where I want to be then this is where I'll go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
It's just something they told me
They said that everything in the world is right and this is what I know
and this is all I want to be so this is where I go
Everybody feels better look outside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t
Everything in the world is right and this is who I know
and this is where I want to be so this is where I go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t

So many things in my head, I've always had them before
No reason to be upset, they're just ideas for walls
Now I'm standing inside, outside, which is the right side
I'm standing, demanding that the nightlife be called the right life

Like putting paint on my feet & walking sideways in rows
My walls could be so complete, complete with patterns of toes
Now I'm standing inside, outside, which is the right side
I'm standing the left side, right side, which is the right side
Now-ideas
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls

A little m for the mirror, a double U for the wall
to make things perfectly clear, a great big H in the hall

Now I'm standing inside, outside, which is the right side
I'm standing, demanding that the nightlife be called the right life

Is everybody confused? (no) I'm making no sense at all
You want a room with a view you need ideas for walls
Now I'm standing inside, outside, which is the right side
I'm standing inside, outside, outside, right side
inside, outside, which is the right side
Now -- ideas
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas
They're just ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls
Ideas for walls

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,

Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Leave the real one far behind

Modern, modern, modern, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern

I see you acting modernly with the boys and girls
Exposure breeds discovery in the modern world
The 60's hairdos 90's eyes are just flashing lights
A touch of neon hinting class for the modern night
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern

Mono vision tv face and determined eyes
The clothes are perfect the rips in place just the perfect size
Familiarity breeds contempt but it doesn't show
We've heard the music times before but it still makes you go
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, dancing
