Wall Street Village Day

(album: The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette - 1969)

Uptown people on the corner watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Greenwich Village day

Paisley people dressed in colors wearing what they have to say
Some are paisley, some are grey
See them masquerading
On a Greenwich Village day

People there for the show
They came to see what, they don't know
The Village stores are filled with all kinds of groovy trash and trinkets
And there are scores, the bottoms for everyone who wants to think it
What a wonderful day
To make-believe away
But they can't stay
Tomorrow

Downtown people on the corner watching other people play
And while the people watch them play
The players watch the people
On a Wall Street kind of day

Pinstripe people dressed in colors wearing what they have to say
Some are paisley, some are grey
See them masquerading
On a Wall Street kind of day

People there for the show
They came to see what, they don't know
The Uptown stores are filled with all kinds of stylish trash and trinkets
And there are scores, the bottoms for everyone who wants to think it
What a wonderful day
To make-believe away
But who's to say
You call the game another name
It's still the same
On a Wall Street Village day
