Lyrics
Jackson 5
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whip up a brew and it mix all the scents in
They spin around me in the sonic dimension
Then I don't want to sit and my body rejects it
Dance on the dues that you spend on your rent, yay
Down in the depths at the heart of a song
There is a sadness something that's lost
You're trying to get to the old nickel playing
But there's always a trouble some are still saying
That if you play those 5
They will jive
If you play those 5
They will jive all night long
No way to know what I'll get til I push it
Staying my ground is hard when I'm crooked
I'm wondering how I can get it for free
Alchemy speaking always to me
Trying to teach me a thing with a tune
Covered in dust is a kid who could croon
Notes are ascending out hickory doors
Out of the speakers and onto the floors
And if you play those 5
They will jive
If you play those 5
They will jive all night long
My hope is that it works today
I hope it's not the troublesome way
