Run Straight Down

Lyrics

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
