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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
When we watched the markets crash
The promises we made were torn
And my parents sent for me
From out west where I was born
Verse 4
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
Verse 5
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
Verse 6
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
Verse 7
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
Outro
One day they will see it's long gone
