There is Alby who has everything
And Dogen who loves nothing
Kusama's by the polka dotted blinds
Watts cures you of your taboo
Shunryu sighs untrue is true
As Kahlo's staring daring death to cry
Greta's Inn floats out of time and space
As if Escher designed with grace
Someplace downtown no one will ever find
Look I'm such a broken artist but you know I come from money
At least until I spent it on the wine
Oh no, it's not like me to drink I think I'll sink right into velvet
Even Julian thinks the singer is sublime
She's got an attitude like chocolate laced with poison in the middle
You want a bite and then you lose your mind
Or it's the other way around
Her voice the sound when you go crazy
Only mad ones make this place fake any time
In a mist the Bowery kissed
At Bleecker and what was
Learning nothing lasts forever yet something also does
Zo was no one when he got here
He'll be no one when he's gone
Learning nothing lasts forever
Yet something dances on
In a very tall tower
So high it touches clouds
In the center of the city
In sunlight like a shroud
The man in a blue suit
Who saw where time went
Says I don't know what I sang
But this is what I meant
In a mist the Bowery kissed
At Bleecker and what was
Learning nothing lasts forever yet something also does
Zo was no one when he got here
He'll be no one when he's gone
Learning nothing lasts forever
Yet something dances on
In a very tall tower
So high it touches clouds
In the center of the city
In sunlight like a shroud
The man in a blue suit
Who saw where time went
Says I don't know what I sang
But this is what I meant
