Ashes To Ashes Lyrics - 5th Dimension

They're tearing down the street 

Where I grew up 

Like pouring brandy 

In a dixie cup 

They're paving concrete 

On a part of me 

No crime for killing off 

A memory 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

Can you find the Milky Way 

Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley 

Have seen their dying day 

[Chorus] 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

It'll never be the same 

But we're all forgiven 

We're only living 

To leave the way we came 

No sidewalk ground now 

To meet my friends 

They put a roadblock 

At the rainbow's end 

We're driving faster now 

Than Orville flew 

We leave our mark on 

Every single thing we do 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

It's the way the West was won 

Amos and Andy and nickel candy 

Have fallen to the gun 

[Chorus] 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

Can you find the Milky Way 

Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley 

Have seen their dying day 

[Chorus] 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

It's the way the West was won 

Amos and Andy and nickel candy 

Have fallen to the gun
