- Syncopated spirit,
catch the beat,
soar and dip,
cross over
two tunes
playing catch.
- O jazz,
you know
how to
snap
gloom,
- shake it up,
turn it
- into body
dance
dreamed
just right now.
- Syncopated spirit,
- trip-tripping spirit,
- catch the sound,
spill-in to deep hopes, dip fingers into just
- born rhythm,
- soar up to Holy's insides,
- soon, soon, now.
