Ability To Swing

(アルバム： That Secret Place - 1994)

Everybody's thinking
Thinking pretty hard
Everybody's thinking
About singing from the heart

If you want my opinion
It doesn't mean a thing
If you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing

Everybody working
Working pretty hard
Everybody working
At singing from the heart

If you want my opinion
It isn't worth a bean
If you haven't got that
Ability to swing
The ability to swing

Dreams, take them away
Got it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
But, now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing
Oh no!

Everybody talking
Talking pretty loud
Everybody looking
To stand out from the crowd

Gonna break it to you bucko
It isn't worth a bean
If you ain't in possession
Of the ability to swing
The ability to swing

Friends send them away
Go it alone honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
Now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse
The ability to swing

But, each beat take me deeper under
Each beat sends me more to sleep
Heart melts ice and heart spells danger
Don't hold your breath boy, 'cause it
Don't come cheap, no

Everybody looking
Looking pretty hard
Everybody looking for a meaning in my art
Gonna give it to you straight boy
It isn't worth a bean
If you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing

The ability to swing
The ability, the ability
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing

Gonna give it to you straight
Boy, it isn't worth a bean
If you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
Ooh
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
