ストレイトノーチェイサー - Thelonious Monk

Well Monk set it straight,

It’s not a time you can wait,

You gotta be on,

you gotta be strong,

The time is here.

So trust your life to your ear,

Don’t wait for no one,

You’ll have to go on,

Because this moment is the place

Where it happens and there’s no one who can

Help set it straight. Now Monk had a way

Of being out of his day

Ahead of his time

Not in the same rhyme

With other guys

He was uncommonly wise

He knew the answer

That time’s a dancer

He knew you can’t

Pack up the moment and

Take it with you on the road

'Cause now is the time
