Then  it's your business
A  modern piece of glasswork
Down  on the corner that
You  walk each day in passing
The  elderly sales clerk
With  eyes full of suspicion
The  whole corporation's giving  it permission
 The little stairway
 A little bit of carpet
 A pair of mirrors that
 Are facing one another
 Out in both directions
 A thousand little Julias
 That come together
 In the middle of Manhattan
 The chorus has the same chord progression running beneath it, but there is a
 synth playing A and then D.
 You waited since lunch
 It all comes at once
 Around the corner
 The house that modern art built
 I ask for modern art
 To keep it out the closet
 The people who might own it
 The sins of pride and envy
 And on the second floor
 The Richard Cera Skate Park
 Waited since lunch
 It all comes at once
 Along the park walk
 Ask all of our questions
 While all the horses
 Race taxis in the winter
 Look up at the buildings
 Imagine who might live there
 Imagining you're walking
 On a bowl upon the sing there
 You waited since lunch
 It all comes at once
This riff is also played every so often. In the beginning Ezra only plays the first 3
but plays more as the song progresses.
