San Fransisco
(Ottershagen)



















As we reached Market north of Mission
and the hippis faded into grey
there and then
we made the decision
to walk all the way to Golden Gate
We made a stop at our pool place
and we talked to Mina and Jay
drank some bottles of Corona
then it was time to
hit the streets again

Where the Orient meets the Broadway
and the poets give in to their lust
I learned the secrets of the great China
a result of money
not of trust
Bye bye to the beaten generation
sunglasses after dark and looking cool
and as we continued on our mission
I wondered if anyone was fooled

"You can stay with me"
she offered
"we could party all day long"
she would show me all of her treasures
but it was getting late
and I had to go home

A freaked out brother in need of money
trying to play the blues on his guitar
he was more talking than singing
to the line waiting for the cable car
Through Marina to Presidio
leaving the Russian Hills behind
I had to shed a tear for the lost sailor
who came here with gold in his eyes

Finally the fog revealed the ocean
and I could see the sun going down
a thousand cars passing by us
and from the east came the wind so cold Somewhere a ship blew its whistle
and it made me turn around
there I saw the strangest thing happen
San Fransisco turning into gold

You can stay with me
she offered
we could party all day long
she would show me all of
her treasures
but it was getting late
and I had to go home
continue.....
