Song information
a long time ago, in a city, far, far away (think ny) in basement apartment, underneath a deli, in the morning, I heard a street vendor selling her wares. being a basement apartment, the windows featured the feet of people walking by and the sound of Rosie hawking peacock feathers to passersby. Rosie is sang by Mary Lee Stein, recorded live on an old tascam cassette 4 track portastudio.

Lyrics
 Rosie Feathers          
         
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
                  
         Brown tattered hat, crushed velvet velour.
         Street city vendor, selling her visions, 
         outside my door.
         
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
         Six for five dollars, one for a buck!
         Buy! won’t you mister,
         I’m down on my luck.
         
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
         
         Eyes watered blue, by too much to see.
         Please mister please,
         won’t you buy one from me?
         
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green,
         Buy one for your lover,
         just a dollar a dream.
         
         Peacock feathers,
         Peacock feathers.
         
         Blue paisly print dress
         drifts slowly from me.
         I hear her calling
         her cry of the street.
         
         Peacock feathers, royal blue and green.
         Peacock feathers, just a dollar a dream.
         
         Peacock feathers.         
         
         ad lib:
         I got peacock feathers lady, Just a buck apiece, just a
         dollar a dream. C’mon lady, buy a peacock feather, I’m down
         on my luck!  you can get six for five dollars. Pretty royal
         blue and green, take one home to your lover, they’re
         just a dollar a dream! Peacock feather lady?
