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
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
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 Sudden Place
The rising tide helped me
decide to change my name again
Some tend to linger on and
some may case from Babylon
Some will roam their ruined home
rejoicing 'till 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 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
