O Anaheim (live at The Fire Nov. 2015) - The Deadeyes
Lyrics
Crosstown traffic
Flying down the coast of dreams
Some of us had different names from Nevada to New Orleans
Chorus:
San Francisco was quite a trip
We went from high to low, we almost died but we loved it
We lost our Bag Man but we gained a Fence,
And it’s true what they say about Chinatown heavies
Now some of us have photos on the post office wall
I guess I mean some more of us than there were before
Suffice it to say there’s no such thing as
An easy score
We had a drop to make
We were hopping from state to state
We’d cut our losses and licked our wounds and
Learned from our mistakes
Things didn’t quite go as planned
But we got what we wanted and decamped
Can’t un-ring a bell but you sure as hell can
Bury your treasure in the sand
Chorus:
San Francisco was quite a trip
We went from high to low, we almost died but we loved it
We lost our Bag Man but we gained a Fence,
And it’s true what they say about Chinatown heavies
Now some of us have photos on the post office wall
I guess I mean some more of us than there were before
Suffice it to say there’s no such thing as
An easy score
And now it’s my high time
O Anaheim!
Let the years roll by
Just watching the sun set, then watching it rise
Ain’t trying to preach
But I ain’t going out like Uncle Pete
Lived his whole by the highway, never made it to the beach
Chorus:
San Francisco was quite a trip
We went from high to low, we almost died but we loved it
We lost our Bag Man but we gained a Fence,
And it’s true what they say about Chinatown heavies
Now some of us have photos on the post office wall
I guess I mean some more of us than there were before
Suffice it to say there’s no such thing as
An easy score
