Richmond Fontaine Black Road
727 landed on a clear day
Was drunk and at the OTB by midday
I got a room for a week to try to escape
But there ain't no escape, outside my room in the alley below
Two guys are getting in a scrape and
Above they're all crazy and below its the insane,
the alcoholics and the ruined and the framed
I'm on a black road
I fell asleep and a woman came to me
We we re walking along a Chinatown street,
But they came and they took from me and
dragged me down by my feet
I woke shaking on a black road
