The Day the City Died |
Seems as though the PTA has finally conquered Rome |
They’re gonna charge admission and enclose it in a dome |
Now it’s just a theme park and the rides are over-priced |
Maybe you can run the one that used to be your life |
TICs and refugees are scattered far and wide |
And many tales are told about the day The City died |
Painted ladies faint before the speculator’s eye |
The gravy boat will always float until the bay runs dry |
And everybody sighed |
And gets all misty eyed |
About the day the city died |
This one’s called I’m moving to Oakland |
This one’s called I’m moving to Portland |
This one’s called I’m moving to Brooklyn now |
Prospectors and pushers still conspire to subdivide |
And many tales are told about the day The City died |
Skinny dips on crystal ships sail through the Golden Gate |
I left my heart in a shopping cart at the bottom of the Bay |
And everybody sighed |
And gets all misty eyed |
About the day the city died |
This one’s called I’m getting addicted |
This one’s called I’m getting evicted |
This one’s called another one moving away |
This one’s called I’m moving to Austin |
This one’s called I’m moving to London |
This one’s called somewhere in L. A |
This one’s called I’m moving to Boston |
This one’s called I’m moving to Berlin |
This one’s called I’m off to Savannah, GA |
This one’s called I’m moving to Glasgow |
This one’s called I’m moving to Moscow |
This one’s called I’m moving to Detroit today |
