Lyrics

JAZZ ON THE ROCKS

It's a Chinatown hole-in-the-wall
With the usual suspects on call.
There's a low buzz of talk, and then somebody walks,
With an unsteady step down the stair.
And the mirror is streaked, like the rouge on my cheek,
And there's stale perfume in the air.

It's another late night, of drinkin' my dreams
But I never check on the clock.
I just order up some cigarette smoke
And a glass of jazz on the rocks

It's a Chinatown hole-in-the-wall
And I've staked out my place at the bar.
And the bartender's wise, he warns off the guys
And keeps puttin' my tips in his jar.
Cause I don't wanna think, I just wanna drink,
And drown all this hurt in my heart.

It's another late night, of drinkin' my dreams
But I never check on the clock.
I just order up some cigarette smoke
And a glass of jazz on the rocks
