Back in Zuccotti Again...

Brr -- it's too cold to play outside! But January/February is the time when it's good to hunker down and record demos! Here's one I wrote after I walked by Zuccotti Park last week -- birthplace of Occupy Wall Street -- on my way to a wedding at Federal Hall. The park was empty -- just a couple of tourists and about 40 pigeons, and that made me sad and more than a bit sentimental for the glory days...
Lyrics:

Back in Zuccotti again
But where the heck are my friends?
Has anyone seen the Man in the Box?
Officer Winsky or the Hipster Cop?
It was a while ago
But I can't let go
So I'm sitting alone with a pigeon on my hand
And I'm back in Zuccotti again

Back in Zuccotti again
But where the heck are my friends?
Has anyone seen the Ladies Who Knit?
The guy with the sign that says "it's fucked up and bullshit"?
It was a while ago
But I can't let go
So I'm sitting alone with a pigeon on my hand
And I'm back in Zuccotti again
