paroles de chanson A Rhythm Doing a Rhythm - Akira the Don , Alan Watts

And so as a result of there always being a kind of gap,
That's the gap you know like where the electric spark jumps
That's the thing behind your head, behind your eyes
That you can never get to look at, it's the gap.
And because of that little gap,
The circle doesn't just revolve in a dull way, just go around,
And around, and around type of boring thing
It has rhythm
See if I say "Yoeeeeee"
No rhythm, see, it's just one long sound
After a while you'd say, "Oh cut it out,"
Or we just become insensitive to it
What we want to hear is the breaking you see?
And we want to hear and vanish, and come back again, and so on
And that sets up a rhythm, and that becomes interesting
That's putting gaps between, you see we need those gaps
We need those gaps. See?

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm

Now you see it, now you don't, Now you see it, now you don't
Oh, that's pretty dull
So, now you see it, now you don't, now you see it, now you don't
Oh that's pretty dull
So, what we're gonna do is this,
We're gonna have you see it three times,
And then with a regular not see it between them
Then there's gonna be a longer not see it after that one
And then I'm gonna do something very complicated
After that so that you don't really know when it's gonna come next
So, it's gonna be a surprise
You know how we all do that?

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm

And interesting people are those who do this in very involved ways
Dull people, the sort of people who put
Their hats on absolutely straight
Are the kind of people for example who
Have the same meal every day,
Exactly the same thing, always, see?
See, have no inventiveness
They have the same routine, they go to the same office,
They answer the same kind of letters, and that's that, see?
But then if they want to start up a more interesting
Kind of business and make more money
Take the people who make clothes
They figure out fashion,
It's gonna be a new thing for ladies, a new style
We're gonna make them do long skirts instead of the short skirts
And they skirts go "wi-tchi-tchi tchi-tchi tchi-tchi," like this
Then finally they thought about having topless women
They're gonna play around with that
And have an absolutely scandalous ball
But, that's the whole thing you see?
It's this thing of rhythm
And yes you ask, "Well, I see that.
What is doing this rhythm? Who, after all, am I?"
And as you explore deeper and deeper
And deeper into the nature of yourself

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another rhythm doing a rhythm

Your vibrations and who who is doing all this
And who who is doing all this
Why? He came around, there it was,
And we were looking for him and then he vanished
And who who is doing all of this
And who who is doing all of this
Why? He came around, there it was,
And we were looking for him and then he vanished
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
And then just when we weren't looking for him again, there he is
But every time we try to see he isn't there
Now, do you see that?
That situation is what's called life
