The song is on YouTube: watch the video.

Swing with a big band that just will not sit still: the man who quit is dancing, and the trumpet tells everyone why.

The lyric

I used to need a light for every song I sang

Now the only thing I'm burning is the dance floor, man

My coat smells like the future, my fingers smell like rain

And the band keeps playing louder than the ache

No more matches, no more smoke

No more mornings made of dust and coughing jokes

Lady luck is in the trumpet, and the trumpet's blowing sweet

No more matches, and I'm light on my feet

So pour the coffee, pour it strong and pour it slow

The man who quit is dancing, and he's glad to let you know
