Testo di Hudson

Hudson died in Hudson bay The water took its victim’s name Now rivers rise told 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 marked the ninety-nine-year lease Our fathers signed which I declined To try and comprehend Over and over again are 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 are 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 were on the ruined home Rejoicing…To the end Over and over again are 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
