Generate meaning
1
I saw a hippy girl on 8th avenue
2
She barely looked at me for a second or two
3
And I suddenly realized I no longer looked much like a hippy
4
mmmmm
5
She had a long thin dress and rainbow clothes
6
Not long ago I wore one of those
7
But now-a-days I guess I don't very much like anything
8
mmmmm
9
I had a great pair of bellbottoms, I had two
10
My friend borrowed one and the other I outgrew
11
And now to the eye I'm turning into another non-descript guy
12
But I still travel light and my hair is still long
13
I still hate deoderant and I still sing songs
14
But over the years I've noticed I'm not dressing as colourfully and psychedelic as I used to
15
'Cause I wore my tye-dyes until they rotted to shreds
16
And I can no longer follow The Greatful Dead
17
And it's gotten to the point where I don't even identify with most Phish fans anymore
18
And someday soon I know I'll cut my hair
19
And a week after that I know I won't even care
20
It's how it all comes to all along
21
Everything that you feel will one day feel wrong
22
I was talking to my friend Eric
23
Just to see what he thunk
24
And he said "Jeff, it's weird
25
But I no longer look like a punk"
26
I guess we don't need our clothes for an identity crutch
27
And we looked at each other and we didn't look like much
28
And we looked out at the world like a movie theatre
29
At all the hippies and the punks and the skinheads and the skaters
30
And someday or other maybe sooner or later they'll come to the realization
31
That what's important is whether you can carry on a human conversation
32
It's not what you wear on the outside
33
It's how you think and feel on the inside.
