San Francisco Lyrics by Matt Minigell

Pipe Dreaming

2018

Morning came like a shot right between the eyes
As I paced on your steps where I gave you the rest of my heart last night
Where you wrapped me in misery's shroud
As I stared a hole in some Golden Gate cloud
Oh you know I could never be proud
Of that night in San Francisco
She had a cocktail dress wrapped around her like a proud black flag
Winding her way without a word up the tenement drag
And deep in her eyes ran a river of pain
There was a spot on her neck where true love sunk its fangs
Red as the rod cupid shot through her brain
One night in San Francisco
I was out on the porch, just screwing around by myself
Rolling cigarettes outside of the Wild West Motel
Watching the parasites looking for hosts
Guzzling their wine and gassing their ghosts
Baby it hurt me so much more than most
What you did in San Francisco
The next night at the gig I was down and I was pushing my luck
When you crawled to the top of my psychological muck
So I played a sad one and the hipsters all moaned
And made for the sidewalk like rats from the hold
And I stood there singing a song all alone
Just me and San Francisco
Cause Saturday's promises tend just to wither and die
Up against Sunday's headache when you wonder why the hell you ever tried
So I smile as you take the money and run
Cause falling in love's just like staring at the Sun
We were just kids, we were having our fun
One night in San Francisco
