作词 : Charles Mingus/Joni Mitchell 作曲 : Charles Mingus/Joni Mitchell The rain slammed hard as bars
It caught me
By surprise
Mutts of the planet
And shook me down for alibis
I'm waiting
For the keeper to release me
Debating this sentence
Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine
In daydreams of Birdland
I see my soul on fire Burning up the bandstand
Next time I'll be bigger
I'll be better than ever
I'll be happily attached
To my cold hard cash
But now
Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by
There are things I wish I'd done
Some friends I'm gonna miss
Beautiful lovers
I never got the chance to kiss
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living
Processions of missing
Lovers and friends
Fade in and they fade out again
In these daydreams of rebirth
I see myself in style Raking in what I'm worth
Next time
I'll be bigger
I'll be better than ever
I'll be resurrected royal
I'll be rich as standard oil
But now
Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears And boats in my eyes
Going by
