run straight down
by Warren Zevon c 1989 Zevon Music/BMI (4-Aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo- para-dioxin, carbon disulfide) (Dibromochloropane, chlorinated benzenes, 2-Nitropropane, pentachlorophenol, Benzotrichloride, strontium chromate 1, 2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane) I went walking in the wasted city Started thinking about entropy Smelled the wind from the ruined river Went home to watch TV And it's worse when I try to remember When I think about then and now I'd rather see it on the news at eleven Sit back, and watch it run straight down Run straight down Run straight down I can see it with my eyes closed Run straight down We've been living in the shadows all our lives Where it's stand in line and don't look back and don't look left and don't look right So we hide our eyes and wonder who'll survive Waiting for the night... Fluorocarbons in the ozone layer First the water and the wildlife go Pretty soon there's not a creature stirring 'Cept the robots at the dynamo And it's worse when I try to remember When I think about then and now I'd rather see it on the news at eleven Sit back, and watch it run straight down Run straight down Run straight down I can see it with my eyes closed Run straight down.
