(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing

Out of the doorway, into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was migratory
Spoken half in jest, catch the bird that's in my nest
Out of the doorway, into the morning
All of them seem to be selling something
Illegal substances, or an hour with no kisses
Though I am tempted, they are pre-empted
You and your rosary are exempted
From criminality, still there is a duality
You'll never know it,
I'll never show it
Only I hear it, only
I know that
What's apropos for me, may for thee be blasphemy
And the hills are alive with the sound of music [CHORUS:]
When I kiss you, when
I kiss you
I hear Charlie
Parker playing
Will I miss you, will
I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when
I kiss you
I hear Charlie
Parker playing
Will I miss you, will
I miss you
When I finally see the light
Where are they going, what are they doing
Who are they chasing, who are they suing
It all ends up
OK in this
Tennessee
Williams play
What are they facing, who are they casing
When you're attacked, tell me, who are you macing
For me it's all just fine, 'cause she's a
Frank Lloyd
Wright design
The finest of material
A little asymmetrical
But that's the way it goes, my love for her just grows and grows
It's bigger than
Fuji, bigger than
Fuji Sometimes she's a little screwy
But all that is offset when we dispense with etiquette
And the hills are alive with the sound of music [CHORUS]
Out of the doorway, into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was predatory
Spoken half in jest, catch the bird that's in my nest
There's rebel advances, labor disputes
Somebody's shot and somebody shoots
And hits the bullseye -bam- captured on a portacam
And the hills are alive with the sound of music [CHORUS]
