the avant garde

David Byrne

I saw a woman in a leotard
Now I m not sure how I feel
About the avant garde
Now I like the idea their politics too
But I m not really sure
If that means that it s good

I wanna go there, yeah, yeah!
I wanna go there

And when we go there you will observe
It s a passionate life, it s a head of a curve
It s deceptively weighty, profaundly absurd
Well, it s whatever fits
It s the avant garde
And it doesn t mean shit
It s the avant garde

Should I be more lik? the avant garde?
Would it be ?asy?
Or would it be hard?
For a life that s exciting
If one wants to go far
There s only one place
That s the avant garde

I wanna go there
I wanna go there
I ll take you with me
The things that we ll see

Just look arround you will observe
It s a passionate life, it s a head of a curve
It s deceptively weighty, profaundly absurd
Now, it s whatever fits
It s the avant garde
And it doesn t mean shit
It s the avant garde

I wanna go there
I wanna go there

And when we go there you will observe
It s a passionate life, it s a head of a curve
It s deceptively weighty, profaundly absurd
Well, it s whatever fits
It s the avant garde
And it doesn t mean shit
It s the avant garde
And it doesn t mean shit
It s the avant garde
