The rain slammed hard as bars
Mutts of the planet
It caught meAnd shook me down for alibis
I'm waiting
Debating this sentence
For the keeper to release me
Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine .
In daydreams of Birdland
Burning up the bandstand
I'll be better than ever!
Next time
I see my soul on fire
I'll be bigger!
I'll be happily attached
To my cold hard cash!
To a chair in the sky
But now Manhattan holds me
Going by
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes There are things I wish I'd done
Some friends I'm gonna miss
I never got the chance to kiss.
Processions of missing
Beautiful lovers
Lovers and friends
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living
Fade in and they fade out again
In these daydreams of rebirth
I see myself in style
I'll be bigger!
Raking in what I'm worth
Next time
I'll be better than ever!
I'll be resurrected royal!
I'll be rich as standard oil!
With the bird in my ears
But nowTo a chair in the sky
And boats in my eyes
Going by.
