Issue No 192 Ashes To Ashes Lyrics

(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
