[Lyric] Ode to Jazzman John Clarke (Calabashed)

[vocalisations]

Cool and calm and collect
Carry on as we rise from the wreck
It's cool and calm and collect
Long John river[?] has a pole vault fence
Live and direct [?]
Never show your devils respect
Never let them see you sweat

Back when I almost lost myself
That time I almost lost my head
The shadows ran across this bed
Close confidence it cost me, fled[?]
Everything [?]
That time I almost jumped in front of a train
[?]
If I die whose gonna live this life?

Calm down, step back, breathе in
Armadillo grow a brand new skin
Boat capsized [?] fins
I took my sorrow and I made a nеw hymn
Calm down, step back, breathe in
Armadillo grow a brand new skin
Boat capsized [?] fins
I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn
I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn

Cool and calm and collect
Carry on as we rise from the wreck
It's cool and calm and collect
Long John river[?] has a pole vault fence
Live and direct [?]
Never show your devils respect
Never let them see you sweat

I wear my pain as a jacket
I wear my pain as a jacket
I lean back never slouching
I lean back never slouching
[?] last ten pounds in the bank
[?] and my conversation frank

Stress go high like a tower
Grief go deep like a vein
A real smile is scarce like a tiger
Fakeness spread all around me
But I'm alive you see
I'm alive you see
I'm alive and for that I give thanks
