LYRICS

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, profoundly 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 like the avant garde?
Would it be easy?
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 around you will observe
It's a passionate life, it's a head of a curve
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly 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, profoundly 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
