Faubourg NOLA
Sunday night in a small jazz club,
Saxaphone bleating sweetly
And the bass is working up and down my spine
Like a rhythmic masseur.
Serving cocktails,
Seeing drunk people.
Now the saxaphone is braying like a crazy mule.
Drums sticking on nerve endings, like accupuncture pins,
But the piano smooths it out
oil to calm the white caps on stormy seas.
Late night in a small jazz club,
Saxaphone going somewhere wild and free
By now I maybe just too drunk to understand
The intracacies of this here jazz band,
Sunday night late
At this small jazz club date.
