Intro: x2
Verse 1:
Lights come on from
the neighbors woken
up and the flash is
our cue for the dash
A/C#to the car to
the back porch
where we laugh and we
pass to the left
and reflect on
expected repetitiveness
The Dial didn't slip
an inch from that station
Chorus 1:
We were floating in your room
to the songs of classic
jazz flowing all night
long As fast as we're leading
our lives it's music
that still makes us come
out at night for good times
Verse 2:
Lighten up cause
it's summer and
we're just having fun
We're too young to be
Bmout running and
ducking the fuzz
But your room was a
safer than a spacious
Gplace with the
clarinet filling
the entire thing
The dial didn't slip and
Ginch from that station that
would play the hits of
our grandparents' time
Emwhile I flawlessly chime
in at the hit of
the ride and say
Chorus 2:
I'm floating in your room
to the songs of classic
jazz flowing all night
long As fast as we're leading
our lives it's music
that still makes us come
out at night for good times
Interlude:
Bridge:
Static there's
nothing but static
programmed by popular
demand and then a light
appeared directly over
my head and it illuminated as
Agreat as the idea that came
It was simple we won't
listen to commercials or
Gthe same ten songs
over and over and over
Chorus 3:
Coz We were floating in your room
to the songs of classic
jazz flowing all night long
I'm flying from your
room to the sun
with classic jazz still
spilling from my lungs
We're floating in your room
to the songs of classic
jazz flowing all night long
