lyrics

They come to hunt the poor man
When all his luck runs out
They come to hunt they come to take you
Down down down

Mark:
So im at the bar with ramon and the boys and ramon’s like, hey, i know this sweet score but its gonna take some cohones, and he starts talking about some hush hush secret super soldier program the governments got going and how they got this guy who’s half machine and they’re trying to buld phase two 2 which is like either an army of robot fairies for him to lead, or some kind tank they attach his bottom half to and ramon doesnt know but theres this tinker’s shop where they’re putting the plans together and every thurs some government laison goes there to meet with this tinker, some guy named lloyd an some woman named llewelyn who they say is related to edgar mcalistair, like, THe edgar mcalastair and they got these plan there and if we stole them we could start a bidding war between the government and resistance and itd be the biggest payday ever seen but im like, hell no thats how to get killed, but then later, as we’re getting drunk Brandons starting in on me, how im a lame thief and i dont have the sauce for it, and finally im like screw you brandon, me and ramon are gonna steal these plans and itll be epic and i’ll show you.

...

So we do the job but it all goes completely wrong causethat Llewelyn woman was there and she scared Ramon who shot her and im like “ hell no i didnt signon for no murder charge” cause i never seen someone killed before and its not good, its not good at all and so im puking on the floor but we did get these plans in this folder but they’re weird, bruh, i don even know what theyre for and we get away and so later that night we’re at Ramons celebrating except im not celebrating im crying and sobbing, wait, no, dont tell Brandon i said that, i totally didnt cry, im like stone cold, so anyway Ramon wont let go of the plans, he’s clutching them and he’s getting lit on this drug called TanSan, like completely blitzed out, and suddenly he just disappears, like, one second he’s on the sofa and the next he’s gone and im like “woah, this is like end up in the psych ward stuff” and he stays gone for like 2 hours but then 2 hours later he just pops right back in with some story about going back in time to a prairie, only he had the plans with him but he dropped them there and didnt bring them back and its right then we hear sirens.

...

So i just bail and Ramon was behind me but because he’s all drugged out he’s slow and the cops nab him but i just keep running and i head underground thinking maybe i’ll go hide with the voodoopunks but the tunnels under the city are like a maze, bruh and there’s like weird people down so i gave hp on that wandering around the dark is not my thing i figure i’ll just stay outta sight up here and the next thing i know im hearing they interrogated Ramon to death and they are after me so i’ve been hiding and running and im not doing too well but thats not all cause now they’re rounding up every druggie they can get their hands on and word os they got this big warehouse they’re sticking them all in and they’re force feeding them Tansan until one of them blips like Ramon and goes to that prairie place and brings them back their folder and if your girl was taken thats where she is and you just better hope she’s hasnt dropped dead of a drug overdose because they’re burning through druggies and im sorry but thats all i can help you with cause im staying out of sight until this whole thing blows over and if you were smart you’d stay out of it too but either way nice to keet you, good luck and im out of here.

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
