Richmond Fontaine - I Can't Black It Out If I Wake Up And Remember lyrics

That house we're pa**ing is bad luck to me The whole block is too And that field across that street Used to be one big building It burned down when some bums broke in They were lost in the flames And there's that alley where I saw that fight Where the guy was iust left to die And see I told you they closed down the Fitz I once saw Brian in handcuffs outside of it When he saw me he started laughing And yelling my name I used to know a girl who lived down that street She had two sisters Who were in low end nudie magazines She'd lived on her own since she was 16 She was always a good triend to me So please don't go down her street I heard she got k**ed in a car wreck in Wyoming So please don't go down her street See that apartment building My uncle lived there 'til I was I3 All summer he'd take me to the river swimming We'd sneak into the movies without paying Everyone said he went bad but I don't care about that L iust don't understand why he'd run out And leave my mom and me And my mom worked in an office down that street You could always see her on break On the back steps smoking, dressed up and worried She was always broke and worried about everything I can't block it out it I wake up and remember I miss them all so much
