Sunday Afternoon

There's a symphony playing in the alley for free,

I hear the timpani splashing in the puddles down the streets.

And there's a man sleeping in some garbage, he doesn't even make a sound,

He's undisturbed, they go unheard, but he'll be dead before he's found.

Oh there's a genius playing folk songs sitting out underneath a tree,

He's writing about politics and making history.

He plans to send a letter to his sister out in L.A.

But she's so busy memorizing lines for a role she's gonna play.

Ch: There's a violin singing my name somewhere,

And I hear a piano that's slightly out of tune.

Oh and I swear, and I swear, and I swear, I can smell apple pie,

Oh it must be a Sunday afternoon.

There's a coroner crawling in the shadows of the morgue,

He saw the ghost of Elvis sneaking out through the back door.

A politician is keeping all the money he's got right up his nose,

While he's fighting the war against drugs you know.

Ch: There's a violin singing my name somewhere,

And I hear a piano that's slightly out of tune.

Oh and I swear, and I swear, and I swear, I can smell pumpkin pie,

Oh it must be a Sunday afternoon.
