[Sparks - I Hear Charlie Parker Playing When I Kiss You lyrics]
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
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
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
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 hit's the bullseye
Bam! - captured on a portacam
And the hills are alive with
The sound of music
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
