This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San Francisco 
who may not know it but they are beautiful and so is their city 
this is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it 
particularly those of you who are European residents 
save up all your brand and fly translove airways to San Francisco U.S.A. 
then maybe you'll understand the song 
it will be worth it
if not for the sake of this song but for the sake of your own peace of mind

Strobe lights beam create dreams
walls move minds to do
on a warm San Francisco night
old child young child feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
angels sing leather wings
jeans of blue Harley Davisons too
on a warm San Francisco night
old angels young angels feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night

I wasn't born there perhaps I'll die there
there's no place left to go, San Francisco

Cop's face is filled with hate
heavens above he's on a street called love
when will they even learn
old cop young cop feel alright
on a warm San Francisco night
the children are cool
they don't raise fools
it's an American dream
includes indians too
