Rhythm Of Life

I was strolling through the jungle
one day
Met a girl,
And the voice from the girl said
"Baby would you like
to come with me
You see my daddy rode home
in his bottle"

She explained to me then
Why your greatest thrill
Said her house burn down
At the top of the hill
She was happy to hear
the bells ring
People be prepared
For the strangest things
Life brings

You see on that night
We were so full of desire
dance so hard
until we got higher,
For the people
So their hearts
Wouldn't harden
By the light of the bombs
In the garden.
Boom
Lions sigh, lovers roar
People die
So Dance
Until you dance,
Dance no more
to the rhythm of life.

The rhythm of life
Is a furious thing
He'll make you cry
He'll make you sing
The rhythm of life
Has a curious sound
The beat goes on
And the rhythm goes around
Goes around

And didn't anybody
Ever tell you
If you fly
Too close to the sun
You're bound to
Get burned
But once you've tasted
The fruits of delirium
You can't help
But get a high on life

The rhythm of life
Is such a furious thing
He'll make you cry
He'll make you sing
The rhythm of life
Has a curious sound
The beat goes on
And the rhythm goes round
