Black Road by Richmond Fontaine Lyrics

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 were walking along a Chinatown street, but
They came and they took me and
Dragged me down by my feet

I woke shaking on a black road
