| Set the groove Set the mood Check out what's on the tube. Close the day. Time to play. Put the sounds on the stereo... Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Drift away Hello people a hundred years from now It may not make much difference but I'll say it anyhow Let me tell you of the planet and what we're doing now It really is bizarre enough to make me take it slow There are cartoon creations made of people and of lines They dance around the TV and they dance around our minds There are a bunch of different holy men pointing different ways Don't think, do think, watch out what you say And we all tried, yes we tried We all kept plugging like a salmon up a stream Some of us were dancing But some of us were screaming But we tried Oh how we tried Bunch of different funny people living by the sea And trying to get to other planets Trying to start another scene Their leaders say come pay us we'll show you what we mean But I learned not to trust them They were not what they seemed - HOT! We all kept plugging like a salmon up a stream Some of us were dancing and some of us were screaming While we tried, oh we tried Marie she looked like Linda with 50 extra teeth Linda made the cover of a family magazine And Bonnie was the singer that made both of them dream But they all lost to disco, the current mating theme I've never seen a hero but I've got 5 million dreams I've never been to Harlem but I've been somewhere in between As long as I can keep moving I guess I'll keep up with the scene I'm dancing to the rhythm of the road Yes, I'm dancing to the rhythm of the road Words and Music (C) Michael Nesmith |
