just a step onto the street

an uncomfortable heat

rattlers at your feet

in running town

helter skelter all a-swelter

the impetus is seething

in running town

a thousand curses

full speed ahead

lockjaw aggression

and buzzing imitations

deride the friendly martian

in running town

helter skelter all a-swelter

the impetus is seething

in running town

a thousand curses

full speed ahead

if you gaze into her face

she'll come back and drown

all refugees in the sea

of running town

a thousand curses

full speed ahead

laughter rebounds and strangles

that sound in running town
