Warren Zevon - Run Straight Down lyrics

Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene
Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether
Two, three, seven, eight, tetrachlorodibenzo-
Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide

(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
I went walking in the wasted city
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
Started thinking about entropy
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
Smelled the wind from the ruined river
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)
Went home to watch TV

(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
And it's worse when I try to remember
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
When I think about then and now
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo)
I'd rather see it on the news at eleven
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)
Sit back, and watch it run straight down

Run straight down
(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
Run straight down
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
Run straight down
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
Run straight down
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo) run straight down
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)

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

Run straight down (Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo)
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)

Fluorocarbons in the ozone layer
(Run straight down)
(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
First, the water and the wildlife go
(I can see it with my eyes closed)
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
Pretty soon there's not a creature stirring
(Run straight down)
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
'Cept the robots at the dynamo
(Run straight down)
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)

(Run straight down)
(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
And it's worse when I try to remember
(Run straight down)
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
When I think about then and now
(I can see it with my eyes closed)
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo)
I'd rather see it on the news at eleven
(Run straight down)
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)
Sit back, and watch it run straight down

Run straight down
(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
Run straight down
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
Run straight down
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo) run straight down
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
Run straight down
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo) run straight down
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Dibromochloropane, cholorinated benzenes)
(Two, nitropropane, pentrochlorophenol)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Benzotricholoride, strontium chromate)
Run straight down
(One, two, dibromo, three, chloropropane)
Run straight down (Run straight down)
(Four, aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene)
(Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether)
I can see it with my eyes closed
(Two, three, seven, eight
Tetrachlorodibenzo) run straight down
(Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)
