Lyrics:
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

Lyrics:

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
