Jazz on the Autobahn |
The sheriff disappeared |
He drove in a doomed Corvette |
Helen was in the passenger seat eating melon and spitting out the seeds |
Feeling happy to be alone but still turning a saxophone as cold as stone kinda |
like |
She said this is what the apocalypse will look like |
A tornado with human eyes |
Poisoned birdbaths and torrents of chemical rain |
Like the heads of state hyperventilating in clouds of methane |
Sundown on the human heart |
And this is what the apocalypse will sound like |
But it will be loud as a mushroom cloud |
It will sound like final jeopardy |
But somehow be ghostly like a glockenspiel |
Like the testing of bombs or the tapping of stiletto heels |
It will sound like jazz |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
It will sound like jazz |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
The sheriff disagreed |
He tried to make the distinction between death and extinction |
They stopped off at a place called Hamburger Heaven to grab a bite to eat |
But Helen had no appetite, she just drank a 7 Up |
while the sheriff tapped his coffee cup to a distant beat |
It won’t look like those old frescoes, man I don’t think so |
There will be no angels with swords, man I don’t think so |
No jubilant beings in the sky above, man I don’t think so |
And it won’t look like those old movies neither |
There will be no drag racing through the bombed out streets neither |
No shareholders will be orbiting the earth, man neither |
It will be hard to recognize each other through our oxygen masks |
The successful sons of businessmen will set their desks on fire |
While 5-star generals of the free world weep in the oil chocked tide |
It won’t sound like jazz |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
It won’t sound like jazz |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
They agreed to disagree |
They zoomed off in a doomed Corvette |
The sheriff couldn’t recall feeling this way his entire life |
As he drove through the principalities of unreality |
On the run with somebody else’s wife |
The heiress of Texas oil |
What is freedom? |
He thought |
Is it to be empty of desire? |
Is it to find everything I’ve lost or have been in search of? |
Or is it to return to the things is which there is no more returning? |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
Does it feel like jazz? |
Jazz jazz jazz |
Jazz on the autobahn |
