A Chair in The Sky Lyrics |
||
 words by Joni Mitchellmusic by Charles Mingus 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 |
