Lyrics

Now that 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 watched the markets crash The promises we made were torn Then my parents sent for me From out West where I was born Some people say we've already lost But they're afraid to pay the cost for what we've lost Pay the cost for what we've lost Now that you have left me here I will never raise my voice All the diamonds you have here In this home which has no life Oh, this city's changed so much Since I was a little child Pray to God I won't live to see The death of everything that's wild (Woo!) Though we knew this day would come Still it 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
