lyrics

Everything was yellow, everything serene
Everything was orange and purple and green
It was- because it does
Everything was lovely, everyone was here
Everything was fuzzy, and hazy and clear
It was- because it does
We’re roosting at the park

We’re roosting at the park, we’re living in the sun
We’re singing for a lark, and everyone is only everyone
And I wish you had come along

Everyone was laughing; everyone had air
Everyone was happy with flowers in their hair
They wear . . .’cause we were there
No one was a weirdo; no one acted strange
We all acted foolish, and ran around in the rain
It rained, but we remained
We’re roosting at the park

We’re roosting at the park, and everybody’s feeling so elated
I’m bringing my guitar
And we’re staying here until everyone has played it
And I wish you hadn’t waited
‘Cause I’m so infatuated
It’s what I’ve anticipated
We’re roosting at the park
