Trying to find my voice
Here in all the noise
Two kinds in the world
And who are you
And who are you
To tell me

“Be on your best behavior
Lay off the Charlie Parker
Don’t sit hoping for something to go bump in the night”

But I’d just as soon have the company of my ghosts

Don’t say that was then
It’s self-evident
Stumble or take a step
But not sideways
But not sideways
Please tell me

“Be on your best behavior
Lay off the Charlie Parker
Don’t sit hoping for something to go bump in the night”

But I’d just as soon have the company of my ghosts
