San Francisco - Hello Saferide

Winter’s been real long this year

I know, cause I’ve been there

Summer never seemed to come along

And when it did, it felt all wrong

You’ve been sitting on the sidewalks wondering what went wrong with your life

You’ve been walking to your bedside table and in the top drawer was a knife

Time to take your sweetheart by the hand and lead him to the Promised Land

The only place in North America not destroyed by the government

San Francisco!

You’re going

San Francisco!

We’re going

Don’t you know you’ll never ever want to turn back

I have news for you my friend:

I’m sticking by you until the end

Doctor’s ordering you the same prescription, see, that worked wonders for me

I sat by myself in bars, I was driven home in state-owned cars

I was filled with so much hate until I saw the Golden Gate

Until my sweetheart took me by the hand and led me to the Promised Land

The only place in North America not yet destroyed by the government

San Francisco!

You’re going

San Francisco!

We’re going

Don’t you know you’ll never ever want to turn back

And it’s time to pack your bags and call in sick and bring the toothbrush

Withdraw from that savings account what’s savings for, time doesn’t wait and

Hold the door, I’m coming, all that jazz

Like an escape from Alcatraz
