Surrender To The Rhythm - Elvis Costello

Are we crazy? Living our lives through a lens Trapped in our white-picket fence Like ornaments So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble Aren't you lonely Up there in utopia Where nothing will ever be enough? Happily numb So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, the trouble Ah, so good Your rose-colored glasses on And party on Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me We're all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm to the rhythm Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me We're all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm to the rhythm Are we tone deaf? Keep sweeping it under the mat Thought we can do better than that I hope we can So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble So comfortable, we can't see the trouble, the trouble Aha, so good (so good) Your rose-colored glasses on And party on Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me We're all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm to the rhythm Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me We're all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm to the rhythm It is my desire Break down the walls to connect, inspire Ay, up in your high place, liars Time is ticking for the empire The truth they feed is feeble As so many times before They greed over the people They stumbling and fumbling and we're about to riot They woke up, they woke up the lions (woo!) Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me We're all chained to the rhythm To the rhythm to the rhythm It goes on, and on, and on (turn it up) It goes on, and on, and on It goes on, and on, and on (It goes on) 'cause we're all chained to the rhythm

Hey babe Stick around for a while You may find All the homies headin' out We can try To get lost and left behind To ourselves Be a shame to waste this time Cause there's a rhythm to the night Girl set me on fire Girl show me your desires You know I do it right girl Feel the rhythm to the night girl Come along, come along Babe you know we are Goin' on and on You know you do no wrongs Little lady even if you tried You will never fail to keep up by my side Cause there's a rhythm to the night Girl set me on fire Girl show me your desires You know I do it right girl Feel the rhythm to the night girl

Thank you for the days Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me I'm thinking of the days I won't forget a single day believe me I bless the light I bless the light that shines on you believe me And though you're gone You're with me every single day believe me Days I remember all my life Days where you can't see wrong from right You took my life And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me But it's alright Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me I wish today could be tomorrow The night is dark, it just brings sorrow, let it wait Thank you for the days Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me I'm thinking of the days I won't forget a single day believe me I bless the light I bless the light that shines on you believe me And though you're gone You're with me every single day believe me Days I remember all my life Days where you can't see wrong from right You took my life And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me But it's alright Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me, days Thank you for the days Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me I'm thinking of the days I won't forget a single day believe me I bless the light I bless the light that shines on you believe me And though you're gone You're with me every single day believe me, days

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty You're going off limits, going off duty Going off the rails, going off with booty They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work You've come to shoot the pony, they've come to do the jerk They leave him half way to paradise They leave you half way to bliss The ladies' invitation never seemed like this The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? The long arm of the law Slides up the outskirts of town Meanwhile in Clubland They are ready to pull them down Hey The right to work is traded in For the right to refuse admission Don't pass out now, there's no refund (When) Did you find out what you were missing? The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment Thursday to Saturday, money's gone already Some things come in common these days Your hands and work aren't steady The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland?
