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
