• The Ballad of San Francisco
  Caedmon's Call

  
  

  So I'm walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco
  But, I don't really know my way around
  And I'd love to stay a day or two and get into some trouble
  But tomorrow I'll be in another town
  There's at least one coffee bar for every single couple
  And there's at least a couple in this place
  Strange the things you notice when the walls are closing in
  And the walls are closing in on me today
  
  So where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone
  'Cause there's no way outta here
  Well, here is where I live and so I guess that means
  The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year
  
  I love anonymity and I love being noticed
  Just the same as anybody else
  Years ago I told you how I loved to be alone
  These days I'd be perjuring myself
  
  It's like you gave me up like I gave up drinking coffee
  So I guess I would have done the same
  Now I know I'm lost somewhere outside of San Francisco
  But I'm still glad that I came
