5th Dimension - Ashes To Ashes lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

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

(Chorus)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, can you find the Milky Way?

Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley have seen their dyin' day

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

It'll never be the same but we're all forgiven

We're only livin' to leave the way we came

(Verse 2)

No sidewalk playground now to meet my friends

They put a roadblock at the Rainbow's Inn

We're driving faster now, than Orville flew

We leave our mark on every single thing we do

(Chorus x2)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, can you find the Milky Way?

Long Tall Sally and Tin Pan Alley have seen their dyin' day

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

It'll never be the same but we're all forgiven

We're only livin' to leave the way we came

(Interlude)

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
