Ariel Rechtshaid - Hudson lyrics

[Verse 1] Hudson died in Hudson Bay The water took its victim's name The river's rise told Riverside to change their names again [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] The lines are drawn The map is such a drag All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
