Charlie Parker (Music Will Save His Soul)
Socratic

New York City at nine bucks a week
You can wash dishes at Jimmy's
The piano plays at high speed
The Yardbird Suite with the be-bop beat
Yes, everyone's talking about Charlie
His sax was sold, addicted soul
A drug habit out of control
You can dial phones without any clothes
At the Yardbird Suite with the be-bop beat
Yes, everyone's talking about Charlie

He had a couple drinks
Sat too long at the bar
He said, Let me rub at you
If you are feeling far
A be-bop hat with a blazer on his back
The coolest cat, yeah, he was that
At the Yardbird Suite with the be-bop beat
Yes, everyone's talking about Charlie

The only thing that he knows
Music will save his soul
The only thing that he knows
Music will save his soul
He was dragging out a lie
And everybody knows
When you're dragging out a lie
Dragging out a lie

There were people all around
Begging at his feet for change
He emptied out his wallet
Said, Hell, I feel the same
Then he walked down to the river
Where he watched the ferries row
At the Yardbird Suite with the be-bop beat
Yes, everyone's talking about Charlie

The only thing that he knows
Music will save his soul
The only thing that he knows
Music will save his soul
Everybody knows when you're dragging out a lie
Why does everybody know when you're dragging out a lie?
Dragging out a lie

No Yardbird Suite, no be-bop beat
Why is everyone talking about how no one's talking about?
Yes, everyone's talking about Charlie
