Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Live at the Keswick Theatre, Glenside, PA - November 2004

Lyrics

and now i know
 spanish harlem aren't just
 pretty words to say
 i thought i knew
 but now i know
 that rose trees never grow
 in new york city
 until you've seen
 this trash can dream come true
 stand at the edge
 have people run you through
 i thank the lord
 there's people out there like you
 i thank the lord
 there's people out there like you
 while mona lisas and mad hatters
 sons of bankers sons of lawyers
 turn around and say
 good morning to the night
 for unless they see the sky
 but the can't and that is why
 they know not if it's
 dark outside or light
 this broadway's got
 got a lot of songs to sing and
 if i knew the tunes
 i might join in
 i'll go my way alone
 grow my own
 my own seed shall be sown
 in new york city
 subway's no way
 for this good man to go down
 rich man can ride
 and the hobo he can drown
 i thank the lord
 for the people i have found
 i thank the lord
 for the people i have found
 while mona lisas and mad hatters
 sons of bankers sons of lawyers
 turn around and say
 good morning to the night
 for unless they see the sky
 but the can't and that is why
 they know not if it's
 dark outside or light
 and now i know
 spanish harlem aren't just
 pretty words to say
 i thought i knew
 but now i know
 that rose trees never grow
 in new york city
 subway's no way
 for this good man to go down
 rich man can ride
 and the hobo he can drown
 i thank the lord
 for the people i have found
 i thank the lord
 for the people i have found
 while mona lisas and mad hatters
 sons of bankers sons of lawyers
 turn around and say
 good morning to the night
 for unless they see the sky
 but the can't and that is why
 they know not if it's
 dark outside or light
 they know not if it's
 dark outside or light
