Hammers Of Misfortune - The Day The City Died lyrics

Seems as though the PTA has finally conquered Rome They're gonna charge admission and enclose it in a dome Now it's just a theme park and the rides are over-priced 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 speculator's 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 one's called I'm moving to Oakland This one's called I'm moving to Portland This one's called I'm 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 one's called I'm getting addicted This one's called I'm getting evicted This one's called another one moving away This one's called I'm moving to Austin This one's called I'm moving to London This one's called somewhere in L.A This one's called I'm moving to Boston This one's called I'm moving to Berlin This one's called I'm off to Savannah, GA This one's called I'm moving to Glasgow This one's called I'm moving to Moscow This one's called I'm moving to Detroit today
