Lyrics[]

Call me the running man
Call me Alachua County bill
Call me dripping water underneath the phosphor still
Call me John the Ripper tearing at your skin
One day I'll pay for this, for now
Just let me in

It's a straight walk home
It's a straight walk home
It's a straight walk home
Straight walk home
Through the generation fields
And the ventilation dome
Body after body, alone

Nix your dirty water
Forget your resource management skills
I crawl starving down
Sloping Colorado hills
Call me John the Ripper tearing at your skin
One day I'll pay for this, for now
Just let me in

It's a straight walk home
Straight walk home
Straight walk home
Straight walk home
Through the generation fields
And the ventilation dome
Body after body, alone
