Mingus Eyes
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.
What a fool I was. What a thin disguise.
Brando mumble, Mingus eyes
Was a time she fell, but then she got wise
Brando mumble, Mingus eyes
I never had the squint of James Dean, or the Stanislavsky tears
Or the rebel hunch that kills, or the smile that slowly disappears
What a fool I was. What a thin disguise.
Brando mumble, Mingus eyes
Brando mumble, Mingus eyes
