Al Stewart  - Age of Rhythm



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
