Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Song: that's what jazz is to me
Jazz
[Incomprehensible]
Fire eating drag queens dressed as society whores
Crazy two timing bitches running round [Incomprehensible]
Ghetto blasting blasters, blasting magnificently
Blossoms falling from the cherry trees
That's what jazz is to me
High buildings with crippled backs
Circle around my dreams
I clutch at the greasy tails of my dreams
White blossom falling from the cherry trees
That's what jazz is to me
Ten bottles standing in a row military style
With hats pulled low over their brows
A thousand wasted hours
Skeletons entwined fucking and braying
[Incomprehensible]
Blossoms falling from the cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
History repeating itself like a thing aloof
All the great cars of the world in one massive collision
All the doctors swallowed up by one incompetence
All the great theorists and teachers eaten alive
[Incomprehensible]
Religious ecstasy and a blossom falling from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
Blind fish being used as musical scales
Sharks puffed for fish and whales
I long to be by the sea
Where a blossom falls from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
Three forms, four forms, five forms, six forms
Seven forms, eight forms, nine forms, yeah
A blossom falling from the cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
As Einstein said about his theory
I love it, I love it, I love jazz
It's in your heart
It's in your soul
It's in your mind
The color of death, sweet vanilla essence
Richard Harris and Donald Pleasance
And a cherry blossom falling from a cherry tree
That's what jazz is to me
