Lyrics

Hudson died in Hudson Bay
The water took its victim's name
Now rivers rise toward Riverside to change their names again
A stranger walked in through the door
Said, "All apartments are pre-war"
We laughed and asked him for his name, he stayed until the end
We watched the Germans play the Greeks
He mocked the ninety-nine-year lease
Our fathers signed which I declined to try and comprehend
Over and over again all these never-ending visions
Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands
The time has come, the clock is such a drag
All you who change your stripes can wrap me in the flag
The legendary wooden gate
First established real-estate
It's lost a time, like other crimes
Though on this pleasant land
Over and over again all these never-ending visions
Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands
The time has come, the clock is such a drag
All you who change your stripes can wrap me in the flag
Hudson died in Hudson Bay
But I was born on Sutton Place
The rising tide helped me decide to change my name again
Some men tend to linger on
And some make haste from Babylon
Some will roam their ruined home, rejoicing to the end
Over and over again all these never-ending visions
Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands
The time has come, the clock is such a drag
All you who change your stripes can wrap me in the flag
The lines are drawn, the map is such a drag
All you who change your stripes can wrap me in the flag
