Let Them Call It Jazz Lyrics

Shut me in

Shut the damn devils out

They can't reach me now

Outside my window I hear a sad song

A voice crying out

There's nothing quite like this hell

Of lying broken down in this cheap hotel

We all dream of escape here

I don't care

I'll dream the hardest

One day I shall hear this song on trumpets and these walls will fall and rest

Let them play it on trumpets

Let them play it wrong

Let them call it jazz

Let them call it what they want

Nothing on but the radio when I first hear that sweet sweet sound

Lying on the bed with you brand new

My hand is your hand

I don't know if I love you yet

But I know I like you more than any man I've ever met

Music fills the room like smoke as you join me undressed

That song playing on trumpets and the walls fall and rest

Let them play it on trumpets

Let them play it wrong

Let them call it jazz

Let them call it what they want

Let them call it jazz

Let them call it what they want

Out there people have hearts like stone

Pay you a grand for a kiss and a korona for your soul

I sold both many times

To men who only love when they betray their wives

That song isn't quite in tune

That's how I like it best

Let me hear it on trumpets

Let the walls fall and rest

Let them play it on trumpets

Let them play it wrong

Let them call it jazz

Let them call it what they want

Let them call it jazz

Let them call it what they want
