If I had to sell st. Pete on the sweet thing he did
That song would be too long, but I’d bet he’s already told him
Sold him the moon, didn’t pay the tax
Lied about the size, Jimmy Jazz
He’d say I don’t need to buy, a motorcycle
I need a breeze, LSD & Easy Rider
Cuz he thought I’d crash… when I crashed
He had the heart of a dad, Jimmy Jazz
When you meet St. Pete at the gate, teach me his secret handshake
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
& I’ll stay & wait, with your daughters in the rain
Just save me a place
When he finally died he left me an upright bass
He knew I didn’t play and they take up so much space
He was always gonna have the last laugh
Now every time I trip over that, I’m cursing Jimmy Jazz
If you didn’t think it was killing me too, I finally fooled ya
But I’m at ease when my mind sees you twirling a boogla
So if you see me holding tears back, then the tears turn into laughs
I’m just recalling the past, with Jimmy Jazz
When you meet St. Pete at the gate, don’t mention my name
He know we both made mistakes
& I’ll stay & wait, with your daughters in the rain
Just save me a place
