Another San Francisco's gone I guess I'll just pack it in Wanna wash away my sins In the presence of my friends You and I, we head back east To find a town where we can live Even in the half-light We can see that something's gotta give When we watch the markets crash The promises we made were torn And my bed was set for me From my waist where I was born Some people say they've already lost But they're afraid to pay the cost For what we've lost Paying the cost for what we've lost Now that you have let me feel I will never raise my voice All the diamonds you have here In this goldish and blue life All this city's changed so much Since I was a little child And I won't live to see The death of everything that's wild Who knew this day would come Still took us by surprise In this town where I was born I now see through a dead man's eyes One day they will see it's long gone One day they will see it's long gone One day they will see it's long gone One day they will see it's long gone
