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 ninety nine 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
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 'til 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 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
Hudson died in Hudson Bay
Hudson murió en la Bahía de Hudson
The water took its victim's name
El agua tomó el nombre de su víctima
The river's rise told Riverside to change their names again
El aumento del río le dijo a Riverside que cambiara sus nombres de nuevo
A stranger walked in through the door
Un extraño entró por la puerta
Said all apartments are pre-war
Dijo que todos los apartamentos son de preguerra
We laughed and asked him for his name
Nos reímos y le preguntamos su nombre
He stayed until the end
Se quedó hasta el final
We watched the Germans play the Greeks
Vimos a los alemanes jugar contra los griegos
We marked the ninety nine year lease
Marcamos el contrato de arrendamiento de noventa y nueve años
Our fathers signed
Que nuestros padres firmaron
Which I declined to try and comprehend
Lo cual rechacé intentar comprender
Over and over again, all these never-ending visions
Una y otra vez, todas estas visiones interminables
Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands
Una y otra vez como un premio que cambia de manos
The time has a come
El tiempo ha llegado
The clock is such a drag
El reloj es un fastidio
All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
Todos ustedes que cambiaron sus rayas pueden envolverme en la bandera
The legendary wooden gate
La legendaria puerta de madera
The first established real estate
El primer bien inmueble establecido
Is lost in time like all the crimes
Se pierde en el tiempo como todos los crímenes
That won this pleasant land
Que ganaron esta tierra agradable
Over and over again, all these never-ending visions
Una y otra vez, todas estas visiones interminables
Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands
Una y otra vez como un premio que cambia de manos
The time has a come
El tiempo ha llegado
The clock is such a drag
El reloj es un fastidio
All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
Todos ustedes que cambiaron sus rayas pueden envolverme en la bandera

Over and over again like a prize that's changing hands

The time has come

Las líneas están trazadas
The map is such a drag
El mapa es un fastidio
All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
Todos ustedes que cambiaron sus rayas pueden envolverme en la bandera
