Ballad of San Francisco

So I'm walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco

And 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 out of here

But 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



So where oh where can I find someone, anyone

'Cause there's no way out of here

But here is where I live and so I guess that means

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year



It's like you gave me up just like I gave up drinking coffee

So I guess I would've done the same

So now I know I'm lost somewhere outside of San Francisco

But I'm still glad that I came



So where oh where can I find someone, anyone

'Cause there's no way out of here

But here is where I live and so I guess that means

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year
