V1.
There are people I know who wanna plan their lives.
Everything that they do is done by design.
Might be working for them, but it don't work for me.
I ain't got a "plan A" - sure don't got a "plan B."
I gotta let it ride, I don't look inside.
Gotta grab the moment, it's passing me by!
CHORUS:
I'm playing jazz, I'm moving fast,
All I got is now, gonna make it last.
Wanna feel my blood running through these veins
And make it up as I go, babe, like John Coltrane.
V2.
Well, maybe I won't ever settle down,
Won't have no nine-to-five in a quiet town.
But I sleep real good, I got no regrets
And I'm pretty sure this is the best it gets.
You could sit and watch, or you can join the show.
You can play by the rules or you can let 'em go!
CHORUS:
I'm playing jazz, I'm moving fast,
All I got is now, gonna make it last.
Wanna feel my blood running through these veins
And make it up as I go, babe, like John Coltrane.
Like John Coltrane...
