Duke Ellington
John Darnielle
[Verse 1]
Light hit the rings
Glimmering on his fingers
The light came down
And his hands hit the keys
It utterly wasted me
In Sweden
[Verse 2]
Horns punched the air
The aftermath fell around everywhere
I saw the spotlight land on his rings
And I'd had just about enough losing things
In Sweden, in 1962
Quite some distance from you
