Back to Fork

7th and Main

2000 Dharamsala, India




A……
                   G              D       A
He lived under the platform up on 7th and Main
                G                D          A
All the surface dwellers used to call him insane
                G              D          A
He never had no business never played any game
             G                D           A
When anybody talked to him he sounded the same
He said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

Every day a woman stopped him gave him something to eat
One day it was a blanket one day Nike's for his feet
It wasn't nuthin' special but it made his life complete
He never did say thank you but his smile was so sweet
It said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

He lived in a tower reaching up to the sky
He made the lawyers tremble made the pretty women high
He sat up in a courtroom spoutin' laws to abide
When little people talked to him he turned a blind eye
It said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

The big man in the tower he went out to the well
She had to keep on serving him till he was drunk as hell
At midnight she was finished and she walked out to the street
He followed her outside and he knocked her off her feet
He said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

She was shakin' she was nervouse didn't know what to do
He ripped her clothes right off her and he raped her through and through
He said, "Now you be quite don't you talk to anyone."
She wanted to cry out but he was packin' a gun
It said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

(Monumental building Jam)

He left her in the street and he went to catch a train
He ran up to the platform up on 7th and Main
He turned to the sound of a rustling in the bush
The last thing that he saw was his face before the push
It said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A

It took her several weeks but in the end she was brave
That big man in the tower was six feet in the grave
She went back to the platform up on 7th and Main
His face was of a madman but he wasn't insane
It said: A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
         A  C  G  D  A  C  G  A
