In echo park, I

Pause for effect and whisper:

«who are you?»

They crawl out of their holes for me

And I die, you die

Hear them laugh

Watch them turn on me

And I die, you die

See my scars

They call me such things

Tear me, tear me, tear me

Now I’ve got your names

Screaming: «you will suffer

And it’s all too late!»

Now I’ll tell you

They crawl out of their holes for me

And I die, you die

Hear them laugh

Watch them turn on me

And I die, you die

See my scars, they call me such things

Tear me, tear me, tear me

I still run from the telephone…
