Letra de The Age Of Rhythm - Al Stewart

Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I've got the critical eye
I paint my world just a little bit darker
Don't even have to try
Everyone seems a little bit desperate
Oh so witty, but over the edge
I don't know why they try to impress you
With one foot on the window ledge
That's just the way they play it
That's just the way they are
Think up a line and say it
I'll see you all later down at the bar
Don't try to understand it
It won't get you very far
Even the Great Pretender
is really as naked a Hedy Lamarr
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I'm up here walking the floor
The light inside my head getting darker
Going to leave this town for sure
One block down and another block over

There's a place that will make you a drink
The night is hot, I believe that I'll go there
A password will get you in
Play a song by Hoagy Carmichael
Play that horn like Beiderbecke too
A glass or two of something you like'll
Separate you from these blues
Life is a constant party
Swung to a shot of jazz
Even the broken-hearted
Can steal a feel of the razamatazz
This is the age of rhythm
These are the dancing years
Jump through the mirror with them
New York has no time for your tears
Today I feel like Dorothy Parker
Today I've got the critical eye
I paint my world just a little bit darker
Don't even have to try
