[00:00.00]Jazz at the Bookstore - Ron Sexsmith
[00:12.94]Leadbelly's in the background
[00:15.66]Being drowned out by the grind
[00:18.60]He's singing 'bout"Rock Island Line"
[00:22.61]Nobody seems to pay him any mind
[00:27.83]Bestsellers and bookshelves
[00:30.14]Full of self help printed word
[00:33.29]Some faint elegance is heard
[00:37.11]Now was that Ellington or Bird
[00:42.80]And has it really come to this
[00:47.84]Can ignorance be bliss
[00:52.18]I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
[00:58.36]Jazz at the bookstore
[01:01.97]And Blues in the coffee shop
[01:05.74]Jazz at the bookstore
[01:09.31]And Blues in the coffee shop
[01:18.29]There's a man standing at the crossroads
[01:21.55]With a dark roast in his hand
[01:24.79]He's Livin' in white yuppy land
[01:28.62]Over by the milk and sugar stand
[01:34.45]And have I really come for this
[01:39.15]A cup of caffeinated bliss
[01:43.76]So we browse around
[01:45.96]All over town
[01:47.95]Sipping coffees that we can't pronounce
[01:51.79]Meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery
[01:55.18]All the coffins commence to bounce bounce
[02:15.83]Leadbelly's in the cold ground
[02:18.66]Rolling over in his grave
[02:21.60]The hard road where so many slaved
[02:25.69]Is now so smooth and paved
[02:31.33]And has it really come to this
[02:36.41]Can ignorance be bliss
[02:41.00]I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
[02:46.79]Jazz at the bookstore
[02:51.43]And Blues in the coffee shop
[02:54.00]Jazz at the bookstore
[02:58.87]And Blues in the coffee shop
[03:01.66]Jazz at the bookstore
[03:07.41]And Blues in the coffee shop
