lyrics

Charlie Parker
by Solvej Schou ©

He cries when he plays
A tear on the stage
And his baby's dead
Her skin so smooth
The man waits in the car
Name the names
Dim the stars
He said, "I paid my debt,
No needles in my arms"

Charlie Parker no more no more
Charlie Parker no more no more

The wheelchair man
A bag of white in his hand
He said, "We'll all become martyrs one day"
Charlie Parker no more no more
Charlie Parker no more no more
No more

Play like the wind
Burns your lungs
Fire out, fingers numb, fingers numb
Fingers numb, fingers numb
Charlie Parker no more no more
Charlie Parker no more no more
No more

He cries when he plays
A tear on the stage
And his baby's dead
Her skin so smooth
