Yuppies In The Sky |
| One night as I was walking down Columbus Avenue |
| The sushi bars were shuttered, and the dark cantina too |
| I stood there in the darkness as an empty cab rolled by |
| When all at once I heard the sound of yuppies in the sky |
| The herd came down Columbus for as far as I could see |
| The men were wearing polo and the women wore esprit |
| Each yuppie had a Walkman, and as each one passed me by |
| I saw their sad expressions and I heard their mournful cry |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck |
| And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around his neck |
| They all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buy |
| But all the stores were shuttered to the yuppies in the sky |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| I’d seen them in commercials sailing boats and playing ball |
| Pouring beer for one another, crying, «Why not have it all» |
| Now I saw their ghostly progress down Columbus Avenue |
| I heard their cries for mercy and it chilled me through and through |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| All the salad bars were empty, all the quiche Lorraine was gone |
| I heard the yuppies crying as they vanished in the dawn |
| Calling brand names to each other, they faded from my view |
| They’d be networking forever down Columbus Avenue |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
