I could have been in the us navy
Flapping grey, coffee smoke
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Where the hell were you?
Rough stencil, print music
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard coffee
Saxophone mention barbers, n.y.
The cigarette was burning, the flat shoes
Stool
Bongo, coffee, don't mention that black man
The leather-coat was his
Where was she?
Could have been in the us navy
Flow beating air, table-top, shoulder slung
Shore leave, no sailors here
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard
Liquor slacks twisting
The cigarette was burning
The flat shoes, the flat shoes, the flat shoes
Bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird
Slacks, coffee trend I could have been in the us navy Flapping grey, coffee smoke I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Where the hell were you? Rough stencil, print music Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard coffee Saxophone mention barbers, n.y. The cigarette was burning, the flat shoes Stool Bongo, coffee, don't mention that black man The leather-coat was his Where was she? Could have been in the us navy Flow beating air, table-top, shoulder slung Shore leave, no sailors here Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard Liquor slacks twisting The cigarette was burning The flat shoes, the flat shoes, the flat shoes Bird, bird, bird, bird I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird I could have been in another nineteen-fifty Bird, bird, bird Explain Request ×
