|
58 in Paris in the pouring rain |
|
I saw the sweet life going down the drain |
|
The Adonis of the horn standing in the door way |
|
Bayonet fixed waiting for the dealer |
|
And his current trick |
|
Chet was god and I was just 15 |
|
And he was already dead inside his dream |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Blowing the blues away |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Don't blow yourself away |
|
On Broadway New York |
|
When I was being re-burn |
|
At the Copper Rail |
|
With Philly Joe on the drums |
|
Rapping about how he could stop the war |
|
You know the one that's still going on |
|
Up in Harlem and Vietnam |
|
Nothing changed as far as I can see |
|
They just upped the tempo |
|
And changed the melody |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Blowing the blues away |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Don't blow yourself away |
|
Within the tiny room |
|
In which this child grew up |
|
The family we got our dreams |
|
From a silver cup |
|
Live from the Paladium |
|
Sunday night TV |
|
Billie I believe you were singing judt for me |
|
She was dying a little everyday |
|
You touched me in my solitude Lady Day |
|
Keep a talking |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Blowing the blues away |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Don't blow yourself away |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Blowing the blues away |
|
Jazz man, Jazz man |
|
Don't blow yourself away |
