Akira The Don, Alan Watts - A Rhythm Doing A Rhythm (WATTSWAVE VI: THE WEB OF LIFE 2) lyrics

And so as a result of there
Always being a kind of gap
That's the gap you know like where the
Electric spark jumps
That's the thing behind your head
Behind your
Eyes that you can never get to look at
 it's the gap and because of
That little gap
The circle doesn't just revolve in
A dull way, just go around, and around
And around type of boring thing
It has rhythm
See if I say, "Yoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
No rhythm, see, it's just one long sound
After a while you'd say, "Oh cut it out
" or we just become insensitive to it
What we want to hear is the breaking you see?
And we want to hear and
Vanish, and come back again, and so on
And that sets up a rhythm


And that becomes interesting
That's putting gaps between
You see we need those gaps
We need those gaps see?

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a
Rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another
Rhythm doing a rhythm

Now you see it, now you
Don't, Now you see it, now you don't
Oh, that's pretty dull
So, now you see it, now you
Don't, now you see it, now you don't
Oh that's pretty dull
So, what we're gonna do is this, we're
Gonna have you see it three times
And then with a regular not
See it between them
Then there's gonna be a longer not
See it after that one
And then I'm gonna do something
Very complicated after that so
That you don't really know when
It's gonna come next
So, it's gonna be a surprise
You know how we all do that?

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a
Rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another
Rhythm doing a rhythm

And interesting people are those who do
This in very involved ways dull people
The sort of people who put
Their hats on absolutely straight
Are the kind of people for
Example who have the
Same meal every day, exactly
The same thing, always, see?
See, have no inventiveness
They have the same routine, they
Go to the same office
They answer the same kind of
Letters, and that's that, see?
But then if they want to start up a more
Interesting kind of business and
Make more money
Take the people who make clothes
They figure out fashion, it's gonna be
A new thing for ladies, a new style
We're gonna make them do long skirts
Instead of the short skirts
And they skirts go
"wi-tchi-tchi tchi-tchi tchi-tchi
" like this then finally they thought about
Having topless women
They're gonna play around with that and
Have an absolutely scandalous ball
But, that's the whole thing you see?
It's this thing of rhythm
And yes you ask, "Well, I see that what
Is doing this rhythm? Who, after all, am I?"
And as you explore deeper and deeper and
Deeper into the nature of yourself

You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm
Rhythm doing a rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
You'll find that you're a
Rhythm doing a rhythm
You find that you're a rhythm doing a rhythm
And behind that there's another
Rhythm doing a rhythm

Your vibrations and who who is doing all this
And who who is doing all this
Why? He came around, there it was
And we were looking for him
And then he vanished
And who who is doing all of this
And who who is doing all of this
Why? He came around, there it was
And we were looking for him
And then he vanished
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
(Who is doing all of this)
And then just when we weren't
Looking for him again, there he is
But every time we try to see he isn't there
Now, do you see that?
That situation is what's called life
