Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And though they'll think us rather rude
Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood.
Let's defrost in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed off everybody's list
To celebrate this night we found each other, mmm, let's get lost

Let's defrost in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed off everybody's list
To celebrate this night we found each other, mm, let's get lost
oh oh, let's get lost"

Thanks for that lovely musical interlude. I love Jazz.
Chesney Henry " Chet " Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and vocalist.
Baker earned much attention and critical praise through the 1950s, particularly for albums featuring his vocals ( Chet Baker Sings , It Could Happen to You ). Jazz historian David Gelly described the promise of Baker's early career as " James Dean , Sinatra , and Bix , rolled into one."His well-publicized drug habit also drove his notoriety and fame; Baker was in and out of jail frequently before enjoying a career resurgence in the late 1970s and '80s.
... Baker began using heroin in the 1950s, resulting in an addiction that lasted the remainder of his life. At times, Baker pawned his instruments for money to maintain his drug habit.
... At about 3:10am on May 13, 1988, Baker was found dead on the Prins Hendrikkade, near the Zeedijk , the street below his second-story room of Hotel Prins Hendrik in Amsterdam , the Netherlands, with serious wounds to his head. Heroin and cocaine were found in his hotel room, and an autopsy also found these drugs in his body. There was no evidence of a struggle, and the death was ruled an accident . A plaque outside the hotel memorializes him and the room he was staying in, No. 210, is named "The Chet Baker Room".
