Coltrane

Cities are fickle as the people in them I'm dying to arrive, and then I leave again I felt so lonely in the maddening crowd A sad silver lining in the darkest cloud Can't meet your parents 'cause they'll think I'm strange I'd dive into their pool when the water's been drained But how do you fly if you're always afraid At least you know where you are fallin' I'm the bottom of your empty martini A hummingbird at your windowpane I'll be blooming, but you still never see me I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane If you could count my crooked crowded teeth And all the stains buried underneath There you might find the greatest parts of me Might not win, but the odds are free How do you fly if you're always afraid At least you know where you are fallin' I'm the bottom of your empty martini A hummingbird at your windowpane I'll be blooming, but you still never see me I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane Can't meet your parents 'cause they'll think I'm strange I'd dive into their pool when the water's been drained But how do you fly if you're always afraid At least you know where you are fallin' I'm the bottom of your empty martini A hummingbird at your windowpane I'll be blooming, but you still never see me I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane I'm the bottom of your empty martini A hummingbird at your windowpane If now's the moment when you finally see me I'll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
