Run!

When all else fails
When darkness prevails
The night calling
With a deathly howling
Run!

Run past the funeral parade
All the hype and charade
People shaking hands
2-stepping grand stands

Run for your life
Past the glinting
Wincing
Steely knife

Run past that opaque parlor
With its outdated
Wall paper that seems all too cheerful
Run past the gabbing mouths
Waiting to give you an earful
Empty hugs and bottom dweller thugs

Run past it all
This is not the end
No one can mark the time of your fall
