Seems as though the PTA has finally conquered Rome Theyre gonna charge admission and enclose it in a dome Now its just a theme park and the rides are overpriced 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 speculators 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 ones called Im moving to Oakland This ones called Im moving to Portland This ones called Im 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 ones called Im getting addicted This ones called Im getting evicted This ones called another one moving away This ones called Im moving to Austin This ones called Im moving to London This ones called somewhere in L.A This ones called Im moving to Boston This ones called Im moving to Berlin This ones called Im off to Savannah, GA This ones called Im moving to Glasgow This ones called Im moving to Moscow This ones called Im moving to Detroit today
