Tie, Tie The Rhythm Down - Tom Watts

Verse:
In a land of pain, a world of doubt
When it gets so bad I have to shout
I finally have to let it out
And let music set me free.
The pressure's on most every day
To find a way to make it pay
But I just might just fade away
And it's all the same to me.

Chorus:
So let's Tie, Tie The Rhythm Down
And play the chords to feed the sound
And we'll fly like we're heaven bound.
Pretend we're gonna stay.

Verse:
If they knock you down you're sure to lose
So be sure you rent the perfect shoes
And if worry makes you feel the blues
Just rent another pair.
But remember when the game begins
That your rented shoes won't help you win
'Cause you're really just a bowling pin
Who's hoping for a spare.

Chorus:
So let's Tie, Tie The Rhythm Down
And play the chords to feel the sound
And we'll fly like we're heaven bound.
Pretend we're gonna stay.

Verse:
The rhythm, words and harmony
Become a light to help me see.
And it isn't just a song to me
It's treasure to employ.
In a world of pain, a world of hurt
Like flowers grow from mounds of dirt
The rhythmic flow of sounds convert
the suffering to joy.

Chorus(var):
And it's high time the rhythm found you
Break the chains that never bound you.
Fly like you're heaven bound.
Believe you're gonna stay.

Chorus:
So let's Tie, Tie The Rhythm Down
And play the chords to feed the sound
And we'll fly like we're heaven bound.
Pretend we're gonna stay.
