Album: Vonnegut’s Wife
Track #8 Jazz Noon

Here come the hooligans and dogfights
There goes the last shred of hope
Halfhearted swinging on the main line
Blue eyes in milky red soup bowls

Getting on, getting older, getting by, getting over
Go see the other side of midnight
Come see the dark side of the moon
He’s bleeding out all the good life
He’s getting high at jazz noon, jazz noon

Bets down, last chance to hit the big time
He wins who dies with all the most
He’s got a million down on paper
Just ink on dirty little notes

Going round, going out, goings on, going down
Go see the city in the moonlight
Come hear the thief sing the tune
He cut his teeth on his own heart
He took a life at jazz noon

Catgut killers blowing smoke rings
Dead men tell secrets of their own
Sounds like the whole thing was a bad dream
Look like he was just flesh and bone

Gone before, gone awry, gone and told ya, gone and lied
Go see the one who missed the last flight
Come see the Nowhere Man fool
He’s bleeding out all the good life
He’s getting high at jazz noon, jazz noon
