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
& 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
