Lyrics for Song: Hudson
Lyrics for Album: Modern Vampires Of The City [2013]
[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
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]
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]
The lines are drawn,
The map is such a drag
All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
