Mingus

Mingus

Monk - Miles - Coltrane
Jack - Allen - Lenny - Bruce
purity never held back the truth
sex - sex - sex
I'll scream for you
blood - breath - eyes
how I need you

Morrison the American poet
left for Paris
city of love
Mon la Rouge
42nd Street decadence
discotheque dance
this a life chance

and a hush

hesitate at the breath
hold hands in the rain
watch as paper flowers disintegrate
and these color puddles ripple my face
it's a trance - under the influence of a muse
but ah

Lennon - Reed - Dylan - Yates
feel like Norman Bates
echo of the phone off its hook
endless ramblings in the book
needless speech to search and destroy
a child's smile from a new toy

and a hush

investigate these swollen eyes
and the mysteries of pi
cover up the innocence
light the fire and hide
we are all just mysteries of time

but ah fuck it

me - myself - and I
sit with head in hands
and wonder why
lost my friends
and the rhythm of a band
love - love - love
I'll die for you
contempt and guilt
wonder why I need you
