Lyrics

New Jazz - By Dennis Matthews
Intro Chorus
New Jazz Is Happening oh yea, Takes you to new heights I'm told, rhythm of life in your ear
Ellington is smiling down on us, Louie's happy too, new jazz is happening oh yea
Verse1
Jazz tunes ring they buzz in my ear, they scream so loud I can hardly hear
All the clouds that echo they rage through my mind, streets flow with blood it's the sign of the time
I transcend all reality I dream of forever, I'm not ready to die no no not ever.
There's life there's love there's family and children, if you fulfill your destiny you might just win.
Bridge
It begins to tell round midnight round midnight
Verse2
The gold rings at the end of the rainbow, if there's a heaven or hell you know where you can go
Esoteric crystal fantasies they told you about, you spend your time and your money check it out
Just to find that you end up where you started, so much pain and yearning you eat out your heart and
Did they lie and deceive you, you feel like a fool, the searching never ends it's just a brand new school.
Bridge2
Lullaby of Bird land whisper low,
Verse3
You go down to the temple for the holy ash, Preachers and Drug Dealers still take cash.
Monk and Bird do a dance in the edge of your mind; you hope somebody somewhere can save your behind
Hip Hop Be Bop all the same to you, hope they'll keep on listening until you're through
Ella, Billie, Sara song birds they sing, they sung so high they earned their wings
Bridge3
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
Chorus
New Jazz Is Happening oh yea, Takes you to new heights I'm told, rhythm of life in your ear
Ellington is smiling down on us, Louie's happy too, new jazz is happening oh yea
