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, 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
Oh, 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, full speed ahead

Laughter rebounds
And strangles that sound
In running town
