| 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 |
