Fogtown

It was a red sun rising early in this ghetto

A full moon was rising late last night

But you would not know, no you were fast asleep

You only see this city in the broad daylight

Fogtown

Fogtown, I'm down and out on your streets

Oh I would run if I only had a place to run to

Fogtown

Her name was Ruby Red

She was a hard time hooker

She had a man named Juan

He tried to keep her clean

But late last night when the heroin took her

There was one less siren when the sirens reached the scene

When a city's got the charms of a painted lady

When survival bites like a black-haired bitch

You can find yourself on the closest corner

You want to stay you want to go

You've got the Fogtown itch
