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
& 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 & drown
All refugees in the sea
of running town
a thousand curses
full speed ahead
Laughter rebounds & strangles
That sound in running town
