TIME TO PLAY Another night, it’s time to play I pull out my baby out of the case I kiss her neck, and tune her to a perfect pitch Damn she pretty, a fine axe I plug her in, and turn her on I warm her up, by letting my finger fly up and down her It’s time to solo And I do as my axe splits the chord, but not the chord that binds us together, it is never broken I bend and break strings of soul But I keep us in tune with the way she grooves the bottom We change time in the movement from 4/4, to 6/4, and 6/9 I'm about to hit it again, but unlike James Brown, when I take her to the bridge I hit the one note that sets her into free form jazz We play like no other We get funky up in here Then we hold that one note that brings the house down Pure emotional opera We are the stage We dance too, as we play Grinding that rock and play those blues in the rapid repetition We are the bandstand of greatness I slide over to the keys and play 88 different ways on your original body of work as she sustains I pull out all the woodwinds and my wind is long and strong as she reverberates in sweet tremolo I grab a trumpet and play “The Flight of The Bumblebee”, as you hear and see my tongue work is quick and precise I end the night on the bass, and thump as you hum to the end of the chorus line of quavering effect I Lay my baby back in her protective bed, and close the door We rest up knowing we are on a lifetime tour Up at dawn We practice what we do, and what we do, we do it just as hard as if we were live That keeps our song fresh, and always on time
