Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jazz when I talk
Jazz like a hawk
Keeping a watch from the sky
Jazz to be free
Jazz I can see
In my hello and goodbyes
Jazz as a history
Jazz as a mystery
Promises more to teach
Jazz wet my tears
And it catalogues the years
And it clings to my soul like a leech
Jazz in the living crying
Sighing and the dying
Floating on a midsummer breeze
On the midst of the smoke
On the lyrics I toke
See jazz, people's melodies
Jazz smell bad
Safe, sorry and sad
A woman walking out of the dark
Look my way
And I pray
Dawn sets over the park
Jazz always there
In the night air
Down on a Fulham estate
Turntable techniques
Hip-hop dub tricks
Jazz come and live out its f-f-f-fate
Jazz
How I love
Jazz
[Verse 2]
Jazz in the round
There in the sound
Billy Higgins down by the Thames
Ate bananas
Him in pyjamas
Rehearsals would never end
Jazz Bill Lee
Mike and Phoebe
Back of Charles Tolliver's car
Talk Max Roach
Chicago poach
Modern anthems of who we are
Jaimie Branch
Milford Graves
Set the heart to be free
Rip rig swing
Groove a thing
Creature the dance to be
Jazz the sound
Clapton ground
Skinner Herbert and Yard
Ethiopique
Nana tweaks
Jungle to play in you hard
Thème de Yoyo
Marc Ribot solo
Playin' at OTO tonight
Cosmic as Cherry
Sun Ra ferry
Your soul to Arkestral light
Jazz
How I love
Jazz
Jazz is what?
Jazz is what?
Jazz is what?
Jazz is what?
What is jazz?
