Free Saint-Germain Velocity Fast French Bebop Jazz Song

Song Lyrics

[Intro]
Saint-Germain steps
Needle drops down
(Round and round)

[A Section]
Spiral down the avenue Saint-Germain
Copper leaves catching wind in a sudden spin
Black shellac turning round on a brass pin
Fast footsteps ticking past the iron grate
Autumn velocity moving at twenty knots
Swirling round zinc rooftops and parking lots
Needle scrapes groove where the tempo bends
Where the pavement starts and the daylight ends

[A Section]
Russet foliage dancing on cobblestone
Brass horn weeping out in a chromatic tone
Pedestrians rush in a double-time pace
Cold wind cutting light across a tilted face
Vinyl turns seventy-eight revolutions fast
Future rushing straight into the heavy past
Drop the tonearm gently on the center groove
(Turn it up)
Watch the amber foliage make a sideways move

[B Section]
Corner bistro doors swinging open wide
Chanson syncopation playing loud inside
Shift the key center to a minor scale
Rushing past the kiosk where the news is pale
Frenetic cadence of the falling season
Without a cause or a steady reason
Tension rises up through the wooden floor
Spilling right out to the sidewalk door

[A Section]
Spinning down the boulevard in rapid flight
Swirling leaves falling in the fading light
Turntable winding down its friction track
Autumn colors flying and they don't look back
Bebop rhythm kicking through the autumn chill
Standing on the corner as the streets stay still
Needle finds the center and the song goes dim
Saint-Germain dancing on the outer rim

[Outro]
(Spinning down)
Saint-Germain
(Round and round)
Autumn velocity
(Fading out)
