Carla Bley, The Jazz Composer's Orchestra - Holiday In Risk

Текст песни

Leader:
Birds grow in the sky
They settle on the badminton net
They shake it when they leave the net
It’s never nearly over yet
Cecil clark:
Holiday in risk
On a little fast
Leaders ii and iii:
That glancing stare, ach!
Cecil clark:
Hands wet so technically
Leaders ii and iii:
So true
Leader i:
Something so true
It cannot be a rule
You don’t break it
Cecil clark:
It breaks you
Leader:
Break it
Cecil clark:
It breaks you
Leader:
Break it
In fear you ask what I think
Confusion your secret goal
In fear I’ll think as you
Cecil clark and leader:
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying just the
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
On a little
Leader:
Fast
Leaders ii and iii:
So he guessed and guessed
And lied the rest
Cecil clark:
A drifting lion
On a roaring raft
'Bird'
As though poetry
Had anything
To do with it
VIVA:
Confusing what’s right
With what’s right
And what’s wrong
With what’s wrong
Leader:
Stop refusing to explain
Give up explaining
