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

And 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.
