Letra de A Chair in the Sky (2024 Remaster)
The rain slammed hard as bars It caught me by surprise Mutts of the planet And shook me down for alibisI'm waiting for the keeper to release me Debating this sentence, biding my time In memories of old friends of mine In daydreams of BirdlandI see my soul on fire Burning up the bandstandNext 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 byThese things I wish I'd done Some friends I'm gonna miss Beautiful lovers I never got the chance to kissDaydreamin' drugs the pain of living Processions of missing lovers and friends Fade in and they fade out again In these daydreams of rebirthI see myself in style Raking in what I'm worthNext 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
