The Jazz Club
Torn out chapters of a magazine.
An ego trip of nicotine.
Double bass, cigarettes,
The beatniks tap on trumpet necks.
The devil's grin on piano keys.
Black berets in a minor key.
Lydian scales laced in cigarette curls
With instrumentals and pretty girls.
This is our coven,
Hidden, unwritten.
Intellectual nightclubs
In towns disease ridden.
An ego trip of nicotine.
Double bass, cigarettes,
The beatniks tap on trumpet necks.
The devil's grin on piano keys.
Black berets in a minor key.
Lydian scales laced in cigarette curls
With instrumentals and pretty girls.
This is our coven,
Hidden, unwritten.
Intellectual nightclubs
In towns disease ridden.
