Al Stewart - Age of Rhythm      Today I feel like Dorothy Parker   Today I've got the critical eye   I paint my world just a little bit darker   Don't even have to try      Everyone seems a little bit desperate   Oh so witty, but over the edge   I don't know why they try to impress you   With one foot on the window ledge      That's just the way they play it   That's just the way they are   Think up a line and say it   I'll see you all later down at the bar      Don't try to understand it   It won't get you very far   Even the Great Pretender   is really as naked a Hedy Lamarr      Today I feel like Dorothy Parker   Today I'm up here walking the floor   The light inside my head getting darker   Going to leave this town for sure      One block down and another block over   There's a place that will make you a drink   The night is hot, I believe that I'll go there   A password will get you in      Play a song by Hoagy Carmichael   Play that horn like Beiderbecke too   A glass or two of something you like'll   Separate you from these blues      Life is a constant party   Swung to a shot of jazz   Even the broken-hearted   Can steal a feel of the razamatazz      This is the age of rhythm   These are the dancing years   Jump through the mirror with them   New York has no time for your tears      Today I feel like Dorothy Parker   Today I've got the critical eye   I paint my world just a little bit darker   Don't even have to try
