it's been awhile
long faces in the night
an occasional smile
and it's almost summer
the playground is empty
just another bummer
there's no one in the alley
but mud flows in the street
a Lily of the Valley
keeping up with her beat
la la la la humming
fast forward drumming
guitar players strumming
who's that i hear a'coming?
it's a sweeper:
he's a real grim reaper!
la la la la humming
la la la la humming
where has that decade gone?
millions of hippies on the lawn
smoke fills the air
Ohio State University there
down by the corner
above the tree line
the last forest
no longer doing fine
toe tapping time
looking for a friend of mine
and here comes Sweet Jane
the heavy ball and chain
holding her back
just like Tom Thumb blues
for a fateful encore
there's so much more
heartbreak
artificial icing on the birthday cake
no, nothing fake
waiting on the corner
like a funeral mourner
holding flowers and a loaded gun
waiting for the high noon sun
it's been awhile
long faces in the night
an occasional smile
and it's almost summer
the playground is empty
just another bummer
there's no one in the alley
but mud flows in the street
a Lily of the Valley
keeping up with her beat
la la la la humming
fast forward drumming
guitar players strumming
who's that i hear a'coming?
it's a sweeper:
he's a real grim reaper!
la la la la humming
la la la la humming
