I Saw a Hippie Girl on 8th Ave - Jeffrey Lewis/Jack Lewis/Anders Griffen[00:00:00]

I saw a hippy girl on 8th avenue[00:00:03]

She barely looked at me for a second or two[00:00:05]

And I suddenly realized I no longer looked much like a hippy[00:00:09]

She had a long thin dress and rainbow clothes[00:00:15]

Not long ago I wore one of those[00:00:18]

But nowadays I guess I don't very much[00:00:22]

Like anything[00:00:24]

I had a great pair of bellbottoms[00:00:28]

I had two[00:00:29]

My friend borrowed one[00:00:31]

And the other I outgrew[00:00:33]

And now to the eye[00:00:35]

I'm turning into another[00:00:36]

Non-descript guy[00:00:38]

But I still travel light[00:00:41]

And my hair is still long[00:00:43]

And I still hate deoderant[00:00:44]

And I still sing songs[00:00:46]

But over the years I've noticed[00:00:48]

I'm not dressing as colorfully and psychedelic as I used to[00:00:49]

Cause I wore my tye-dyes[00:00:55]

Until they rotted to shreds[00:00:56]

And I can no longer follow[00:00:58]

The Greatful Dead[00:00:59]

And it's gotten to the point where I don't even identify with most Phish fans anymore[00:01:01]

And someday soon I know I'll cut my hair[00:01:08]

And a week after that I know I won't even care[00:01:11]

Is that what it all comes to[00:01:14]

All along[00:01:17]

Everything that you feel[00:01:18]

Will one day feel wrong[00:01:19]

I was talking to my friend Eric[00:01:21]

Just to see what he thunk[00:01:23]

And he said[00:01:24]

Jeff it's weird[00:01:25]

But I no longer look like a punk[00:01:26]

I guess we don't need our clothes[00:01:28]

For an identity crutch[00:01:29]

And we looked at each other[00:01:31]

And we didn't look like much[00:01:32]

And we looked out at the world[00:01:34]

Like a movie theatre[00:01:36]

At all the hippies and the punks[00:01:38]

And the skinheads and the skaters[00:01:39]

And someday or other[00:01:41]

Maybe sooner or later[00:01:43]

They'll come to the realization[00:01:44]

That what's important is what you can carry on[00:01:46]

In human conversation[00:01:48]

And it's not what you wear on the outside[00:01:49]

It's what you think and feel on the inside[00:01:53]
