Ashes To Ashes
They're tearing down the street where I grew up
Like pouring brandy in a Dixie cup
They're paving concrete on a part of me
No trial for killing off a memory
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way?
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
No sidewalk playground now to meet my friends
They put a roadblock at the rainbow's end
We're driving faster now than Orville flew
We leave our mark on every single thing we do
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy
Have fallen to the gun
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Ooh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way?
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy
Have fallen to the gun
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Like pouring brandy in a Dixie cup
They're paving concrete on a part of me
No trial for killing off a memory
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way?
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
No sidewalk playground now to meet my friends
They put a roadblock at the rainbow's end
We're driving faster now than Orville flew
We leave our mark on every single thing we do
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy
Have fallen to the gun
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Uuh, uuh-uuh, uuh-uuh
Ooh, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Can you find the Milky Way?
Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley
Have seen their dying day
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the way the West was won
Amos and Andy and Nickel Candy
Have fallen to the gun
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It'll never be the same
But we're all forgiven
We're only living to leave the way we came
