The city is congested
And me, I'm hitting the bottle
Waiting for your call
I brake, I stall and send you "call me"
And then, I stick these senseless names on you
That suited so well the sensible forbidden
That did us so much good, so much good

At least once in a lifetime
Preferably at night
In the rain, listen to Chet Baker
In the back of a Studebaker
Signed by Raymond Loewy
Listen to Chet Baker, cry over everything that's escaping
Tell yourself it's over
Until later
And rush back to the past

I read on the signs
That when you bleed from all four veins
The strength is lacking for hatred
The heart is lacking for sorrow
I bite my brake
I land without my train
The elevator is broken
These senseless falls
Do me so much good

At least once in a lifetime
Preferably at night
In the rain, listen to Chet Baker
In the back of a Studebaker
Signed by Raymond Loewy
Listen to Chet Baker, cry over everything that's escaping
Tell yourself it's over
Until later
And rush back to the past

Listen to Chet Baker, cry over everything that's escaping
Tell yourself it's over
Until later
And rush back to the past
See you later
I listen to Chet Baker
Chet Baker
In the rain
I listen to Chet Baker
See you later

(Chet Baker, Chet Baker)
