Ashes to Ashes

They're tearing down the street where I grew up Like pouring brandy in a Dixie cup They're paving concrete on a part of me No trial for killing off a memory Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way? Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh No sidewalk playground now to meet my friends They put a roadblock at the rainbow's end We're driving faster now than Orville flew We leave our mark on every single thing we do Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy Have fallen to the gun Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh Ooh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust Can you find the Milky Way? Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley Have seen their dying day Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the way the West was won Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy Have fallen to the gun Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It'll never be the same But we're all forgiven We're only living to leave the way we came
