Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - That's What Jazz Is To Me lyrics

Jazz Fire eating drag-queens dressed as society who*es Crazy two timing b**hes running round 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 f**ing and braying ? fields Blossoms falling from the cherry tree That's what jazz is to me History repeating itself like a All the great cars of the world in one ma**ive collision All the doctors swallowed up by one incompetence All the great theorists and teachers eaten alive ... Religious extacy 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, A blossom falling from the cherry tree That's what jazz is to me As einstein said about his theory I love, i love, i love, i love jazz It's in your heart, it's in your soul, it's in your mind The colour of d**h, sweet vanilla essence Richard harris and donald pleasance And a cherry blossom falling from a cherry tree That's what jazz is to me
