Nowhere To Run - Lyrics by Harper Roy


Lyrics
I'm a rabbit on fireon fire with mascared eyes
I'm a white rat acquiredby the lab
I'm due to be shotshot with experimentwaiting in linefor the next stab
I've got nowhere to run to
I've got nowhere to goand no way of telling youthat none of you know
I burn in hellfirekept alive in my deathbed
I'm a monkey with wirein my head
I can't touch my facerub my eyes or hear anythingsuspended twixtliving and deadthey say I don't knowbut I live under pressureshowing great symptonsof breakdown and fracture
I've got nowhere to run to
I've got nowhere to goand no way of telling youthat none of you know
If I (RH) had my way
I'd be in there todayturn the voltage on youburn you downwith the whole of your schoolwith your lessons on howto dismiss others' feelingswhile feeling that you'realways ever so kindnever cruelbut that's youonly youof all us creatures on earththat could only be youif only you carednot to kill not to torturenot to need to cause painfear and sufferingto be coolyou'd have all the friendsand the ends and the meansto live with the giveand the fox in the glove (the atmosphere)on this jewel (the planet)but that's youonly youof all us creatures on earththat could only be youyou're the mournful red eyeof the dog in the cagethe howl of despairfrom the poundforsaken forgottenthe live definitionthe sad lonely meaningof houndand you've got nowhere to run tonowhere to goand no way of telling methat this isn't sofor some of us know,and will always care to do so
