[Intro]
\nThere she goes
\n(… in the throes…)
\nOf the music
\n(Slow and quick)
\nPolyrhythmic<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPolymeter
\n(Playing with time)
\nCome and greet her
\n(She’s so sublime)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThere she goes
\n(… in the throes…)
\nOf the music
\n(Slow and quick)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nPolyrhythmic
\nTurbulent (time signature)
\nCan’t circumvent (thrown a curve)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nHey, honey
\n(Wanna get polyphony)
\n’cause it ain’t funny
\n(Playing for money)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThere she goes
\n(… in the throes…)
\nOf the music
\n(Slow and quick)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nPolyrhythmic
\nTurbulent (time signature)
\nCan’t circumvent (thrown a curve)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThere she goes
\n(… in the throes…)
\nOf the music
\n(Slow and quick)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nPolyrhythmic
\n(Oh so slick)
\nTurbulent (time signature)
\nCan’t circumvent (thrown a curve)
\nBeat up the beat
\n(Oh so sweet)
\nShout:
\n(Kick it out!)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nA complex song can be called different things depending on the type of complexity, such as a polyphony for multiple independent melodies, a contrapuntal piece for intricate and interwoven lines, or a fugue for a specific structure. Other terms include polyrhythm or polymeter for rhythmic complexity, or a piece with complex harmonies or changing time signatures, like those found in Balkan music.<\/p>\n

Rhythmically complex: This could involve techniques like polyrhythm (two or more conflicting rhythms at once), polymeter (different meters in different parts), or odd time signatures, as seen in some Balkan music.<\/p>\n
