I was walking in the evening,
I was looking for something good, clean,
fine, pure, straight, but instead I found
the bunker wall and gate.
It was open: I was free. I gave
a token guarantee, though I later knew I
had promised more, with an I.O.U. I could
scarcely score my way... but I herald Apoc-
alypse anyway!
(I was a prime believer in the faith of 'I' -
yellow fever in the cat's eye.)
And it's everything you want/
own/love/hate/touch/dream/trust.
And it's everything you need.
I got a heart like a rocket, I was out of control,
I'd cleaned out my pockets for some luck to show...
Really looking like a hopeless case, I found it
in my hand, it was the Angry Ace.
He wants to talk to me, one on one, he wants to
give me his professional opinion... but
I'm running, I just can't wait, I haven't
got a moment to anticipate; yes, I'm run-
ning, I just can't stop, I've got to get
to the bottom just to get to the top, I've
got the dark alleys and the open skies -
I got the yellow fever from the cat's eye.
I'll let you know how it goes in the ninth life.
