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 the 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 and you will observe
It's a passionate life, it's a head of the 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 the 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
