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      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 playground 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      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      Ashes to ashes, dust to dust   Can you find the Milky Way   Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley   Have seen their dying day      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      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      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      Ashes to ashes, dust to dust   Can you find the Milky Way   Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley   Have seen their dying day      Ashes to ashes, dust to dust   It'll never be the same
