Are you nostalgic for that time and place Or are you just depressed? You've got nothing to confess The sky just opened up and you went flying to That man and his tired skin and silver liar's tongue In that San Francisco Sun God swallowed up by clouds above the golden gate Red and gold and gray, he said this fog hangs endlessly Above this masterpiece So the people here can hide their sins from God So we can all hide our sins from God Your eyes were wide as dinner plates Bright and freshly cleaned, unspoiled and naive To taste the world, I know you'd agree to anything In Paris, you walked the river seine and la palais garnier Sat with the ghost of Hemingway À les deux magots aux saint germain-des-prés And you thought the only price to pay Was removing all your clothes For his photographs, exposed Never knowing what you owed by accepting anything (Did you know what you owed by accepting anything?) (Did you know what you'd owe for all that?) no How could you say no to him When you're already in this deep? With the golden gate looming, the ocean at your feet That water's rising I say burn that bridge and kiss the salty river at her mouth Until your lips give out And your innocence is floating on the bay (Leave your innocence to float along the bay) (Your innocence is floating on the bay) Fly to me and live forever You'll see the world You can trust in me
