jazz with the streetlights


basking in the summer glow of streetlight

swivelling my arm right around its radius

leaping from one to another across the street

who cares if its nine pm?

allowing it to wrap myself in its arms

and flicking out and in and out and in


if you don't really know what life will bring

just look across the street and see me do a tango or jive

with the street lamps

who cares if it's nine and the whole world's asleep

that's the best time to let it out and feel

in the darkest nights, the coldest nights can warm you up all bright

dancing with the street lamps


but when the music stops and the lights dim down

and the vicious sky pours its soul on the ground

the speckled floor may tell you to go back in,

ignore it, trust yourself, and let it all out



back
