was he a painter

underground major

wasn't he conspiring with ralph nader

sunday afternoons in central park

was he a writer

a freedom fighter

did he make your world a little brighter

mondays after dark

andy warhol had to die

we don't know why

we don't know why

now he's painting passersby

in his corner of the sky

was he a thinker

a heavy drinker

was nixon wrapped around his finger

I've heard crazy alli swear he was

was he a controller

a hip rock n' roller

did he realize that the war was over

or let them go on just because

(Chorus)

while lou's still walking on the wild side

(Chorus)

now I've been working

nights at the diner

where a soup can serves as my reminder

did he ever draw JFK

has anyone seen him

talked to him lately

would you tell him that I'm waiting

sunday afternoons in central park
