Hudson died in Hudson Bay. The water took its victim's name. The river's 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. We marked the 99 year lease. Our fathers signed. Which I declined to try and comprehend. [Chorus]. Over and over again all these never-ending visions. Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands. The time has a come. The clock is such a drag. All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag. The legendary wooden gate. The first established real estate. Is lost in time like all the crimes that won this pleasant land. (land land). [Chorus]. Over and over again all these never-ending visions. Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands. The time has a come. The clock is such a drag. All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag. Hudson died on 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 'till the end. [Chorus]. Over and over again all these never-ending visions. Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands. The time has a come. The clock is such a drag. All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag. The lines are drawn. The map is such a drag. All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
