[ti:I Saw A Hippie Girl On 8th Ave] [ar:Jeffrey Lewis] [al:It's The Ones Who've Cracked T] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]I Saw a Hippie Girl on 8th Ave - Jeffrey Lewis/Jack Lewis/Anders Griffen [00:03.18]I saw a hippy girl on 8th avenue [00:05.32]She barely looked at me for a second or two [00:09.06]And I suddenly realized I no longer looked much like a hippy [00:15.51]She had a long thin dress and rainbow clothes [00:18.87]Not long ago I wore one of those [00:22.22]But nowadays I guess I don't very much [00:24.89]Like anything [00:26.89] [00:28.42]I had a great pair of bellbottoms [00:29.97]I had two [00:31.53]My friend borrowed one [00:33.15]And the other I outgrew [00:35.10]And now to the eye [00:36.47]I'm turning into another [00:38.15]Non-descript guy [00:39.15] [00:41.76]But I still travel light [00:43.07]And my hair is still long [00:44.76]And I still hate deoderant [00:46.32]And I still sing songs [00:48.19]But over the years I've noticed [00:49.75]I'm not dressing as colorfully and psychedelic as I used to [00:53.43] [00:55.36]Cause I wore my tye-dyes [00:56.67]Until they rotted to shreds [00:58.23]And I can no longer follow [00:59.73]The Greatful Dead [01:01.48]And it's gotten to the point where I don't even identify with most Phish fans anymore [01:05.72] [01:08.54]And someday soon I know I'll cut my hair [01:11.60]And a week after that I know I won't even care [01:14.85]Is that what it all comes to [01:17.09]All along [01:18.09]Everything that you feel [01:19.59]Will one day feel wrong [01:21.41]I was talking to my friend Eric [01:23.24]Just to see what he thunk [01:24.68]And he said [01:25.36]Jeff it's weird [01:26.23]But I no longer look like a punk [01:28.19]I guess we don't need our clothes [01:29.81]For an identity crutch [01:31.25]And we looked at each other [01:32.63]And we didn't look like much [01:34.64]And we looked out at the world [01:36.26]Like a movie theatre [01:38.45]At all the hippies and the punks [01:39.83]And the skinheads and the skaters [01:41.46]And someday or other [01:43.08]Maybe sooner or later [01:44.58]They'll come to the realization [01:46.20]That what's important is what you can carry on [01:48.45]In human conversation [01:49.82]And it's not what you wear on the outside [01:53.32]It's what you think and feel on the inside
