Lyrics
What is happening and how have you been
Asking about current events and inquiring about someone's well-being
Gotta go but I'll see you again
Expressing the need to depart but indicating the intention to meet again
And oh, the music is so loud
Describing the loudness of the music
And then I fade into the
Trailing off without completing the sentence
Crowds of people standing everywhere
Observing a gathering of people in various places
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
Being present at a jovial event across the street
And here they always play my songs
Noticing that the songs associated with the self are frequently played
And me, I wonder if it's
Contemplating whether the situation is right or wrong
Wrong or right they come here just the same
People coming to the same place regardless of right or wrong, sharing stories
Telling everyone about their games
Sharing experiences or stories with others
And if you think it obsolete
Suggesting that if one finds the situation outdated, they should leave
Then you go back across the street
Returning to a different place across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey
Referencing the street, possibly indicating a location or a metaphorical boundary
When I leave now don't you weep for me
Asking not to be mourned upon departure and assuring a return
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
Requesting to save a place for the speaker upon their return
But if you just can't make the room
Suggesting to look up and notice the speaker if there's no space
Look up and see me on the
Referencing a celestial body, the moon, where the speaker might be metaphorically
Moon's a common scene around my town
Noting the frequent presence of the moon in the speaker's town
Here where everyone is painted brown
Observing everyone being similar or uniform, possibly in their mindset or appearance
And if we feel that's not the way
Suggesting a different approach if dissatisfied with the current situation
Let's go paint everybody gray
Suggesting changing everyone to be the same, "gray," metaphorically
Yeah, gray, yeah
Reiterating the idea of uniformity or sameness, using the color "gray"
