    Story Behind the Song
    A groovy bluesy setting for an introspective look at capitalism.

    Lyrics
    Swimming in the Hudson

    50 stories down
    on Seventh Avenue
    Which wall to lean the ladder on?
    Which wall to lean the ladder on?
    ‘Cause with one more rung
    and I’ll be done buskin’ widgets for a dollar

    His corner office spies
    entire upper west side
    meanwhile down below
    park pigeons feed on
    the fast food crumbs
    the humid lint
    of his Milano suits

    And in the black, black waters
    of the Hudson
    he flails about mad
    mad for some attention
    a handsome lifeguard stands
    smoking coolly on the pier

    Underneath
    your chauffeur’s wheels
    neck deep
    in the rush hour plunge
    a lone guitarist sings
    chasing the blues
    away

    And in the black, black waters
    of the Hudson
    he screams aloud help
    help me now I’m drowning
    a handsome lifeguard stands
    smoking coolly on the pier
    smoking,
    coolly,
    on the pier
