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 |
