    The only New York I know's in my head.
    From Charlie Parker albums I've been fed
    some images of zoot suits, bar room smoke
    and uptown jive; from Lenny Bruce, a joke
    told in a morphine rush upon a stage
    at three am; of course, I've read a page
    or two and seen my TV range and fire
    free jazz blazings from the garbage pyre
    that keeps street people dancing to the cry
    of Albert Ayler, Harlem bound to die
    a broken Hudson drowning. How your place
    Has cut these deep, long lines into my face.

    as was as is jazz never sleeps in ny city,
    it's only dead for some whose pity,
    has disregarded genius,
    (i've spent a lifetime seeking thus),
    myself, that is, and the next Coltrane,
    some mind plays the bluest Blue Train,
    i can only say, my friend,
    if it is just a formal end,
    your city has the finest jazz,
    seek it out, you'll be the schnazz!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
