Out of the doorway
Into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was migratory
Spoken half in jest
Catch the bird thats in my nest
Out of the doorway
Into the morning
All of them seem to be selling something
Illegal substances, or for an hour with no kisses
Though I am tempted, they are pre-empted
You and your rosary are exempted
From reality
Still there is a duality
You'll never know it
I'll never show it
Only I hear it
Only I know that what's apropos for me
May for thee be blasphemy
And the hills are alive with the sound of music

When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light

Where are they going?
What are they doing?
Who are they chasing?
Who are they suing?
It all ends up ok
In this Tennesse Williams play
What are they facing?
Who are they casing?
When you're attacked
Tell me who are you macing?
For me its all just fine
She's a Frank Lloyd Wright design
The finest of material
A little asymmetrical
But thats the way it goes
My love for her just grows and grows
Its bigger than Fuji
bigger than Fuji
Sometimes she's a little screwy
But all that is offset
When we dispense with etiquette
And the hills are alive with the sound of music

When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light

Out of the doorway
Into the morning
Wish I was a bird that was predatory
Spoken half in jest
Catch the bird thats in my nest
There's rebel advances
Labor disputes
Somebody's shot
And somebody shoots
And hits the bullseye (bam)
Captured on a porta-cam
And the hills are alive with the sound of music

When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When the playing ends one night
When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light

When I kiss you, when I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing
Will I miss you, will I miss you
When I finally see the light

I hear Charlie Parker playing

When I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing

When I kiss you, when I kiss you

When I kiss you
I hear Charlie Parker playing

When I kiss you, when I kiss you
