Back in Berkeley lyrics

Well, I'm back in Berkeley and nobody loves me
And it sure feels like I've been here before
With a spotlight shining down above me
Got a job to do, but I'm not sure what for
Nothing matters anymore

I'm back in the East Bay with the blues again
I guess I'm destined to repeat my past
Because I'm trapped in a sad, cramped hotel room again
With suicide-proof windows and some N-95 masks
Nothing good can last

When I was twenty-six, I knew a girl from Minneapolis
We started dancing down an inevitable path
Now I'm thirty-sevеn and the girl has gone and left
Shе wants to stay my friend, but I just can't go back
Babe, I don't bend like that

Now, I'm wandering the streets and they're all empty
You would hardly recognize this hard-luck ghost town
They got a picture on the wall in the room down the hall from me
And memories of you are hiding behind every bend I round
Kinda wish they'd tear it down

Lord, I'm lost in the San Francisco fog once more
Caught in a cycle of loneliness and pain
And I'm tossing the towel cause I can see the score
And the lights of the Golden Gate are calling out my name
The cycle ends today
[Refrain]
I'm back in Berkeley
And nobody loves me
