by Warren Zevon c. 1989 Zevon Music/BMI  (4-Aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene  Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether  2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-  para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)  (Dibromochloropane, chlorinated  benzenes, 2-Nitropropane, pentachlorophenol,  Benzotrichloride, strontium chromate  1, 2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane)  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
