"Surrender To The Rhythm" lyrics

Elvis Costello & Rusty Lyrics

"Surrender To The Rhythm"

Well, they danced to every tune the band could play
At just about midnight, they decided to call it a day
Well, there's one thing that's left here on their minds, yeah, yeah, yeah
To get a little slice
At any price, yeah
They stole the shoes and rice
Surrendered to the rhythm that is calling them home

He was dumb, he was dirty, but she was a princess
But custom-made it to fit right into his arms
She could thrill him, she could chill him (Woo), down to the bone
But he was in his teens
He had to spill the beans
Still looking for ways and means
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home

Well, who's to say if it's right or wrong?
Not another singer in another song
I said we're doing alright (We're doing alright)
Yeah, we're doing okay (We're doing okay)
We're doing okay

Well, now guess what, guess what happened, guess what happened next
She said she had to go, said she was meeting up with one of her friends
But it was nothing more or less than another mess of the blues
But he had more to lose
Started putting in clues
Oh yeah, paying his dues
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home

Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender, yeah, to the rhythm

Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender, yeah, to the rhythm
