This city's not what I expected to be
I'm finding it hard to just accept what I see
These people are hurt
The parts they try to rehearse
Just find them shouting their lines
With all the words in reverse
And maybe I'm not exactly where I should be
I favor the trees to all the wind and the sea
It was a stab in the dark
I guess I just missed the mark
At least for now I can take a walk through Golden Gate Park
Keep your chin up
Cause soon enough
You will be in Yellow Springs
This city's not what I expected to be
I'm finding it hard to just accept what I see
These people I heard
The parts they try to rehearse
Just find them shouting their lines
With all the words in reverse
And maybe I'm not exactly where I should be
I favor the trees to all the wind and the sea
It was a stab in the dark
I guess I just missed the mark
At least for now I can take a walk through Golden Gate Park
