Running Town

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
