Lyrics

I walked out of a strange apartment, morning in the avenues
Her whip was in the top compartment, in the bathroom might have left some clues
A transient asked and so we shared a cold libation
Starin' out at the edge of western civilization
Where people have been comin' the rush in 49
And we took all them bastards in, including you and I

You wanna know why?
Why?
You wanna know why?
Why?

Because there ain’t no place like San Francisco
There ain’t no place like San Francisco
Sundays in the park we do the roller disco
There ain't no place like San Francisco

I got myself central, back on 25th
And sated on dorado style I catalogued my myths
Moroccan girls at Chinese karaoke night
Biker gangs and burlesque on the marquee lights
Houndin' the marina chasin' white tops and skirts
Flying in the eagle with the bottoms tops and verse
And When I cross that golden gate and I'm halfway to the sky
For one shining moment the gods are still alive you wanna know why

And You wanna know why?
Why?
You wanna know why?
Why?

I’ve driven all the western states and here’s what I can say
Every gas station I came to was well stocked with Gatorade
But here we had the hippies the beatniks and the punks
They’re older now but they still holler change is gonna come
And yes I know it's true, but can it settle the score?
There’s talk of bringing federal troops you know it’s happened once before
But all those homeland party hacks they can all go kiss my ass
Federal orders be deniedWe’ll fight here til we die

You wanna know why?
Why?
You wanna know why?
Why?

Because there ain’t no place like San Francisco
There ain’t no place like San Francisco
Sundays in the park we do the roller disco
There ain't no place like San Francisco

And you wanna know why?
Why? (Yeah)
You wanna know why?
Why? (Yeah)
You wanna know why?
Why? (Yeah)
You wanna know why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?

Because there ain’t no place like San Francisco
There ain’t no place like San Francisco
Sundays in the park we do the roller disco
There ain't no place like San Francisco
