Ballad Of San Francisco Lyrics - Caedmons Call

So I'm walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco 

And I don't really know my way around 

And I'd love to stay a day or two and get into some trouble 

But tomorrow I'll be in another town 

And there's at least one coffee bar for every single couple 

And there's at least a couple in this place 

Strange the things you notice when the walls are closing in 

And the walls are closing in on me today 

So where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone 

'Cause there's no way outta here 

But here is where I live and so I guess that means 

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year 

And I love anonymity and I love being noticed 

Just the same as anybody else 

Years ago I told you how I loved to be alone 

These days I'd be perjuring myself 

So where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone 

'Cause there's no way outta here 

But here is where I live and so I guess that means 

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year 

It's like you gave me up, like I gave up drinking coffee 

So I guess I would've done the same 

And now I know I'm lost somewhere outside of San Francisco 

But I'm still glad that I came 

So where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone 

'Cause there's no way outta here 

But here is where I live and so I guess that means 

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year 

And where, oh where, can I find someone, anyone 

'Cause there's no way outta here 

But here is where I live and so I guess that means 

The carrot's gonna dangle for at least another year
