the view upstairs - what i did today lyrics
today i climbed the tallest tree in city park
then squawked at three old ladies strolling by
then i ran to congo square where jazz perfumed the air
got my palm read by a voodoo priest with a gl-ss eye, today
he said i’d been a hero in another life
my adventures had inspired songs and poetry
then smiled as if to say i had good juju heading my way
but he wouldn’t take my money
he just winked a waved goodbye, today
i jumped into the bayou with no clothing on
found gold hidden beneath the muddy floor
i cleaned up with a c-cktail at hotel monteleone
ran up a thousand dollar tab
then walked right out the door, today
today i climbed the tallest tree in city park
got a twenty dollar ticket from a cop
there was jazz in congo square
but the voodoo priest wasn’t there
i tried to sing along
but then got asked to stop, today
the summer heat beats down like h-llfire
so i swam to the shallow depths of the plastic pool
where there’s no gold
not even a little bit
and it’s true, they know me pretty well at hotel monteleone
because i’m on a list that says ‘do not admit’
but just when i was ready to write off today
i met a boy who seemed a little bit like me
a pretty boy who had the most distinguished nose
it was a little strange because
he did not know what year it was
but i thought, this day ain’t over yet
let’s see where the night goes
ain’t it funny how fast a day can change
funny how fast
funny…
