Age Of Rhythm Lyrics
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I`ve got the critical eye
I paint my world just a little bit darker
Don`t even have to try
Everyone seems a little bit desperate
Oh so witty, but over the edge
I don`t know why they try to impress you
With one foot on the window ledge
That`s just the way they play it
That`s just the way they are
Think up a line and say it
I`ll see you all later down at the bar
Don`t try to understand it
It won`t get you very far
Even the Great Pretender
is really as naked a Hedy Lamarr
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I`m up here walking the floor
The light inside my head getting darker
Going to leave this town for sure
One block down and another block over
There`s a place that will make you a drink
The night is hot, I believe that I`ll go there
A password will get you in
Play a song by Hoagy Carmichael
Play that horn like Beiderbecke too
A glass or two of something you like`ll
Separate you from these blues

Life is a constant party
Swung to a shot of jazz
Even the broken-hearted
Can steal a feel of the razamatazz
This is the age of rhythm
These are the dancing years
Jump through the mirror with them
New York has no time for your tears
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I`ve got the critical eye
I paint my world just a little bit darker
Don`t even have to try
