Undercover of night

Laying low staying out of sight,

Cinder bricks and razor wire

Walls of iron and concrete

Hound dogs howling 'round the gate

But if all you got is your own two legs

Just be glad you got 'em

Em
You're on the lam, you're on the run

C
Don't give your name, you don't have one

    G
And don't look no one in the eye

     D
This town will try to suck you dry

        Em
They'll suck your brain,
They'll suck your breath
        C
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest

        G
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best

    D
And stuff your mouth with cotton

C
I hear the walls repeating

D
The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming!
Em
And I am not alone

C
I hear the rocks and stones

D
Echoing my song…
I'm coming!
