The City
My city's lost its soul
Alleyways and catacombs
This city, now silicone
When it once was flesh and bone
Dying cities and dying streets
Well-lit alleys and cotton sheets
Loaded system, privileged few
Pricing out me and you
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
Techno zombies
Stare into their phones
They're pushing out natives
Everywhere they go
And down in the Mission
The low-low's are gone
Shops are closing
And other's ain't got long
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
It was never mine
It was never mine
High in the hills, Pacific Heights
Another foggy San Francisco night
You're looking out on all those city lights
And you're looking down on all our shitty lives
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
It was never mine
It was never mine
Alleyways and catacombs
This city, now silicone
When it once was flesh and bone
Dying cities and dying streets
Well-lit alleys and cotton sheets
Loaded system, privileged few
Pricing out me and you
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
Techno zombies
Stare into their phones
They're pushing out natives
Everywhere they go
And down in the Mission
The low-low's are gone
Shops are closing
And other's ain't got long
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
It was never mine
It was never mine
High in the hills, Pacific Heights
Another foggy San Francisco night
You're looking out on all those city lights
And you're looking down on all our shitty lives
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
The city that I loved has slipped away
It sank like the Bismarck, to the bottom of the bay
And it's clear with the passing of time
The city that I loved was never mine
It was never mine
It was never mine
