was he a painter  underground major  wasn't he conspiring with ralph nader  sunday afternoons in central park  was he a writer  a freedom fighter  did he make your world a little brighter  mondays after dark  andy warhol had to die  we don't know why  we don't know why  now he's painting passersby  in his corner of the sky  was he a thinker  a heavy drinker  was nixon wrapped around his finger  I've heard crazy alli swear he was  was he a controller  a hip rock n' roller  did he realize that the war was over  or let them go on just because  [Chorus]  while lou's still walking on the wild side  [Chorus]  now I've been working  nights at the diner  where a soup can serves as my reminder  did he ever draw JFK  has anyone seen him  talked to him lately  would you tell him that I'm waiting  sunday afternoons in central park
