(Verse)
This ain't no shadow dance
This ain't no park and ride
This is the end of the line
You take it from the street
You give it what it takes
Because you've done all your time
But when it comes down to the earth and afternoon
You don't choose
The choice is already made

(Chorus)
Can't escape the rhythm
It's been inside you too long
It's too strong
Can't escape the rhythm
Got me where I belong
Can't wait
It's too strong

(Verse 2)
Nowhere to run away
You've got to stand your ground
There's no place left you can hide
You'll keep another place
You'll take it from my heart
That's always leading the chart
And when you think you've got nothin' left to lose
I got some news
The piper's gonna be paid
That's why I say
(Chorus)
You can't escape the rhythm
It's been inside you too long
It's too strong
Can't escape the rhythm
It's got me where I got belong
Can't wait
It's too strong

Can't get away! It's gonna get you one of these days
No way, it's too late. Baby, there is no escape. Woo!
