lyrics

Little kids screaming like the world is ending / Players out pretending they're in love / I've got deli salad that I keep defending from a squirrel posted up behind a shrub / You could say I'm lazy spending Monday lounging / I could say "you're right" and close my eyes / But I'm in Central Park while city traffic's pounding / Peeking through the trees at sunny skies


Chorus:
It doesn't even matter if I missed an appointment
It wouldn't even matter if she told me "no"
It doesn't make a difference if the world don't feel me
I'm busy in the park watching green grass grow


Never take the time to let the city slow down / Every day's a show down on the Ave / Even some old lady's knuckled up to go rounds
talkin' 'bout "you better watch your back" / If I had my way I'd stay a week in the park / Forget about the phone and all the noise / Shower in the fountain as the next day starts / Kick it with the little girls and boys

Chorus

Hipster honeys playin' cards on picnic blankets / Roller skating music fills the air / Cops don't want to trip no matter how loud they crank it / Everybody's acting like they don't have a care / I've got a date later on but I don't want to leave / The sun's about to set and light the sky / I wish she'd float through like that eight o'clock breeze / Long black hair and pretty eyes…

Chorus
