Rhythm Doesn't Make You a Dancer

Well, it was my finest hour yes it was, a-ha!
I was the last of the believers in the cause, a-ha!
They tried to sell me Jacob's glory
And the answers to the story and the rhythm of the laughable applause
So I buried my belief and rode the train, a-ha!
I sang, "Your lover is a liar in the rain", a-ha!
And though a man he has to eat he's always drowning in defeat
Only a fool would think the world is round anyway

Put your money right where your mouth is
Don't go deaf or blind just to find this
One plus one don't equal an answer
Rhythm doesn't make you a dancer

Well, there was a message in the herald tribune, a-ha!
About a house of misrepute they couldn't ruin, a-ha!
And though the medicine they chose was dedicated to the rose it
Sucked the life from this ridiculous cartoon
And so I made some old excuse and I declined, a-ha!
To be a joker and a poacher of the mind, a-ha!
And through the window on the gate
I spied the dagger on the plate
And I left every desperate one of them behind

Put your money right where your mouth is
Don't go deaf or blind just to find this
One plus one don't equal an answer
Rhythm doesn't make you a dancer

Put your money right where your mouth is
Don't go deaf or blind just to find this
One plus one don't equal an answer
Rhythm doesn't make you a dancer

Feel the fever burn down the headlines
Everybody loses it sometimes
One plus one don't equal an answer
Rhythm doesn't make you a dancer
