Lyrics Rhythm Of The Heartbeat - Richard O'Brien

Rhythm Of The Heartbeat

If ever I wanted to know
The word that occurred on the street
I’d just listen to the heartbeat
To the rhythm of the heartbeat
If ever I wanted to go
And trick a victory out of defeat
I’d just listen to the heartbeat
To the rhythm of the heartbeat
Then if someone that you don’t know
Should give you the big hello
Well, you’ll never get shaken
Never get taken if you listen to the heartbeat
To the rhythm of the heartbeat
Whatever you want to do
You’d do it better if you did it as you
No, don’t follow your nose
Where the sun never goes
Instead of listening to the heartbeat
The rhythm driven by the heartbeat
Whoa, listen to my heartbeat
Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat
No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat
Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat
When it gets sentimental and slow
Don’t fight it, you might miss a treat
Unless you’re listening to the heartbeat
The heady rhythm of the heartbeat
And then when the tempo says 'Go'
And you’re yearning to turn indiscreet
Just keep listening to the heartbeat
The steady rhythm of the heartbeat
Then if somebody turns your head
And edges you onto the bed
Just forget you’re refined
Stop improving your mind
And listen to the heartbeat
To the rhythm of the heartbeat
No, you don’t need a Ph. D
It may be easier than ABC
You don’t have to be smart
You just open your heart
And listen to the heartbeat
I’m gonna give in to the heartbeat
The rhythm driven by the heartbeat
Whoa, listen to my heartbeat
Whoa, take a lesson from my heartbeat
No no no, there’s no messing with my heartbeat
Whoa whoa whoa, what a blessing is a heartbeat
Oh, be still my beating heart, enough’s enough
Heartbeat
