Gaslight Anthem, The - Miles Davis and the Cool lyrics

rate me

Look, Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool

There's just something about the summertime

There's just something about the moon

So I'll lay a kiss on this storm, toss it upside your window, by the roof

Before you change your mind, Miles, bring in the cool

Now honey, put on your red dress

And you diamond soul shoes

Climb on down from that window

Climb on out of your room

'Cause I've never had a good thing and I've always had the blues

I always heard that you always kind of wandered, Miles, strike up the cool

Don't wait too long to come home

My have the years of our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I'll leave the front light on

The night is our own, come home

Poor mister pitiful, I can't turn you loose

You move like a dream I had, woke up sweating in my room

Your mama's got plans, your daddy's aim is true

She never understood that it ain't no good

Papa never heard the cool

So now I got out my map and found me a storm

With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key

You'll just fall in my arms

Don't wait too long to come home

My have the years of our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I'll leave the front light on

The night is our own

You don't wait too long

So why don't you sing to me on this long drive home?

Let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow

As we go down, down, down

From our youth to the ground

We might always be blue

Jackson!

So don't wait too long to come home

My have the years of our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I will leave the front light on

[2x]

As we go down, down, down

From our youth to the ground

Down, down, down, down, down
