Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What is happening and how have you been?
Gotta go but I'll see you again

And oh, the music is so loud
And then I fade into the...

[Verse 2]
Crowds of people standing everywhere
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, I wonder if it's...

[Verse 3]
Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street

Yeah, street, hey hey

[Verse 4]
When I leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me

But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the...

[Verse 5]
Moon's a common scene around my town
Here where everyone is painted brown
And if we feel that's not the way
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
