[Verse]
A Dm
Hudson died in Hudson bay,
C F
The water took his victim's name,
Gm F
The River's rise told riverside,
E
To change their names again.
(Choral humming)
A Dm
A stranger walked in through the door,
C F
Said "All apartments are pre-war",
Gm F
We laughed and I asked him for his name,
E
He stayed until the end.
A Dm
We watched the Germans play the Greeks,
C F
He marked the 99 year lease,
Gm F
Our fathers signed which I declined,
E
To try and comprehend.
(Choral humming)
[Chorus]
Gm F C F
Over and over again are these never-ending visions,
Gm F C
Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands,
Gm F
The time has come,
C Dm
The clock is such a drag,
C Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
Bb F
Can wrap me in the flag.
[Verse]
A Dm
The legendary wooden gate,
C F
The first established real-estate,
Gm F
Is lost in time like all the crimes
E
That won this pleasant land.
[Chorus]
Gm F C F
Over and over again are these never-ending visions,
Gm F C
Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands,
Gm F
The time has come,
C Dm
The clock is such a drag,
C Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
Bb F
Can wrap me in the flag.
(Choral humming)
[Verse]
A Dm
Hudson died in Hudson bay,
C F
But I was born on Sutton Place,
Gm F
The rising tide helped me decide,
E
To change my name again.
A Dm
Some men tend to linger on,
C F
And some make haste from Babylon,
Gm F
Some will roam their ruined home,
E
Rejoicing... till the end.
[Chorus]
Gm F C F
Over and over again are these never-ending visions,
Gm F C
Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands,
Gm F
The time has come,
C Dm
The clock is such a drag,
C Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
Bb F
Can wrap me in the flag.
Gm F
The lines are drawn,
C Dm
The map is such a drag,
C Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
Bb F
Can wrap me in the flag.
