Lyrics
This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San Francisco
Who may not know it, but they are beautiful and so is their city
This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it
Particularly those of you who are European residents
Save up all your bread and fly Trans-Love Airways to San Francisco, USA
Then maybe you'll understand the song, it will be worth it
If not for the sake of this song
But for the sake of your own peace of mind
Strobe lights beam, creates dreams
Walls move, minds do too
On a warm San Franciscan night
Old child, young child feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night
Angels sing, leather wings
Jeans of blue, Harley-Davidson too
On a warm San Franciscan night
Old angels, young angels feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night
I wasn't born there, perhaps I'll die there
There's no place left to go
San Francisco
Cop's face is filled with hate
Heaven's above, he's on a street called Love
When will they ever learn
Old cop young, cop feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night
The children are cool, they don't raise fools
It's an American dream includes Indians too
