There was a red sun rising early in this ghetto Full moon was rising late last night But you would not know, no you were fast asleep You only see the city in the broad daylight In the broad daylight Fogtown, fogtown, down and out on your streets I would run if I only had a place to run to In old Fogtown
Her name was Ruby Red, she was a two-bit hooker She had a man named Juan who 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 Reached the scene Fogtown, fogtown, down and out on your streets I would run if I only had a place to run to Old Fogtown
Well the city's got the charms of a painted lady And survival bites like a black-headed bitch You can find yourself on the closest corner You wanna stay, you wanna go you've got the Fogtown itch You've got the Fogtown itch Fogtown, fogtown, on down and out on your streets I would run if I only had a place to run To old Fogtown You're gonna be the death of me Death of me
There was a red sun rising early in this ghetto Full moon was rising late last night But you would not know, no you were fast asleep You only see the city in the broad daylight In the broad daylight
