on my way downtown
through the empty streets
the abandoned stores
there was a growing concern
pasted on the telephone polls
that i couldn't ignore

so i quickened the pace
i'm not going to die
just standing around
then i saw her face
as i gasped for breath
i started to drown

there's somebody there
did they hear me scream
and where did they come from?
they're making me swear
that i'll never admit
that it was different where I was

as if in a dream
the clouds are gathering
and i'm electric and terrified
i'm in the back seat
i scream at her to keep
driving, drive, drive, drive

i'm out of my mind
there's no discussion
no admission of any mistake
i'm ready to die
i break my fingers
with a hammer and wooden stake

climbing up stairs
that seem never ending
but always near the top
i'm caught unawares
i stop pretending
and the volume starts to drop
