jazz through smoky lights circa 1956



just take a moment to breath,

it's coming can you hear it.

that frantic last call

that hopeless remorse

the one final thing that you say



as you take a drag off your cigarette

the sax-man blows frantic notes not yet discovered

he's the one,

he's the one who will allow us all to beleave

stop looking with your eyes and start seeing with you mind



just let it all go and you'll realize

relize that for years you've been living a lie,

in your material world, where everything is perfect

let it all go and fade away and...

he'll take you there



he'll make it all real

the frantic sax-man who is so cool and sureal

is he there or is he just a figment of your imagination

floating in the grimmy smoky back ally jazz club

you hear yourself pray that he is true and that a soul

like his can't be made illusional by your thoughts



breath boy, it will all be alright, he is real

he is there to take you away

with his music and his soul you see he's there and your on your way out the door as he blows that last frantic note not yet discovered.
