Fairfax Rag

[Verse 1]

Do you have to look away

When you pass by the diner

Where the squad car stops for coffee?

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else but here?

[Verse 2]

And don't you feel kinda funny

When a man in a suit says

"Man, do you know where I can get high?"

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else but here?

[Chorus 1]

Take a walk down any street that you choose

Yeah, and you'll wind up with the Fairfax Street

Mid-morning paranoia blues

[Verse 1]

Do you have to look away

When you pass by the diner

Where the squad car stops for coffee?

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else but here?

[Verse 3]

Do you grab a cigarette

When a man in an unmarked Plymouth

Pulls you over just to say hi?

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else but here?

[Verse 4]

And do you fumble in your wallet

While you're looking for your license?

And he tells you not to talk with your mouth full?

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else

Don't you wish that you were anyplace else but here?
