The Age of Rhythm (with Laurence Juber) |
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
Today I’ve got the critical eye |
I paint my world just a little bit darker |
Don’t even have to try |
Everyone seems a little bit desperate |
Oh so witty, but over the edge |
I don’t know why they try to impress you |
With one foot on the window ledge |
That’s just the way they play it |
That’s just the way they are |
Think up a line and say it |
I’ll see you all later down at the bar |
Don’t try to understand it |
It won’t get you very far |
Even the Great Pretender |
Is really as naked a Hedy Lamarr |
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
Today I’m up here walking the floor |
The light inside my head getting darker |
Going to leave this town for sure |
One block down and another block over |
There’s a place that will make you a drink |
The night is hot, I believe that I’ll go there |
A password will get you in |
Play a song by Hoagy Carmichael |
Play that horn like Beiderbecke too |
A glass or two of something you like’ll |
Separate you from these blues |
Life is a constant party |
Swung to a shot of jazz |
Even the broken-hearted |
Can steal a feel of the razamatazz |
This is the age of rhythm |
These are the dancing years |
Jump through the mirror with them |
New York has no time for your tears |
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
Today I’ve got the critical eye |
I paint my world just a little bit darker |
Don’t even have to try |
