JK


Smear my lips with whiskey
Put on some Coltrane
I’ll close my eyes if I need to
remember what used to be your name.

Coltrane was a friend of yours
you say so
And close your eyes as jazz flies
‘Cross the room and out the window.

Smear my lips with whiskey
so my kiss will taste the same
You can close your eyes if you need to
try and remember - what’s my name? (There’s no need to say my name)

Coltrane was a friend of yours
you say so
And close your eyes as jazz flies
‘Cross the room and out the window.

What’s funny is you thought I didn’t know
How to play along
It’s funny - aren’t you laughing?
