Send "Ballad of San Francisco" Ringtone to Cell Phone

So I’m walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco
And I don’t really know my way around
And I’d love to stay a day or two and get into some trouble
But tomorrow I’ll be in another town 

There's at least one coffee bar for every single couple 
And there's at least a couple in this place 
Strange the things you notice when the walls are closing in 
And the walls are closing in on me today 

So where oh where can I find someone, anyone
‘Cause there’s no way out of here
But here is where I live and so I guess that means 
The carrot’s gonna dangle for at least another year 

I love anonymity and I love being noticed 
Just the same as anybody else 
Years ago I told you how I loved to be alone 
These days I'd be perjuring myself 

So where oh where can I find someone, anyone
‘Cause there’s no way out of here
But here is where I live and so I guess that means 
The carrot’s gonna dangle for at least another year 

It’s like you gave me up just like I gave up drinking coffee
So I guess I would’ve done the same
So now I know I’m lost somewhere outside of San Francisco
But I’m still glad that I came

So where oh where can I find someone, anyone
‘Cause there’s no way out of here
But here is where I live and so I guess that means 
The carrot’s gonna dangle for at least another year
