Along the west coast of a modern land In anchored my boat in the gloom Anxious, I walked up the steep rolling hills in the fog In the light of the moon Welcome travelers from Sacramento to San Francisco
Passing by miners digging for gold and silver All through the night Fisherman, fishing for Dungeness crabs Or anything else that might bite One of the miners hands me a strange dark rock And says it's all right I turn around from this kind old man and notice A flame fierce and bright
Standing now on top of a hill My neckskin crawls and I fell a chill Cause at the docks, my old brigantine is on fire and is sinking
Is this the end? I wonder as I run Running faster than anyone No, I won't surrender, I'll never back down I'll find my own way in this prodigious town
Nothing to rescue it's far too late I realize as I get close Stopping to catch my breath outside old Victorian homes I don't have a boat to sail with no more I guess I just have to walk I'm heading south crossing a giant bridge Study as a rock But at the docks, my old brigantine Is on fire and is sinking
It's not the end Determing, as I stroll Head held high, I will never fall No I won't surrender, I'll never back down I'll find my own way in this prodigious town
I hear bullet shots and wild horses escapes Away from the mainland and into the lake And as I run towards an abandoned saloon I noticed a graveyard for hot air balloons
One has a wicked basket, good as new Another an envelope with twigs sticking through A small sewing job now and this bag's complete The only thing will lacking, is a source of heat
I check my pocket's quietly, but all I have is that rock I smash it in anger, into the ground And notice a small spark This isn't granite or a lump of coal But quite a magican stone Ascending towards the sky I guess that old man was right all along
Astounded, as I fly Looking down at the night sky I didn't surrender, I didn't back down No this aint the end Astounded, as I fly Looking down at the night sky I didn't surrender, I didn't back down In this prodigious town.
