Tak lama setelah Evelyn
Was doused with gasoline
Disiram bensin
And just a few miles off the avenue
Dan hanya beberapa mil dari jalan raya
A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke
Sebuah korek api berkobar menjadi embusan asap
For thirty years Walter worked right there
Selama tiga puluh tahun Walter bekerja di sana
Five days out of every week
Lima hari dari setiap minggu
That's where he watched his hometown fade
Di situlah dia melihat kampung halamannya memudar
The last came fast and furious
Yang terakhir datang cepat dan marah
Just step in one direction
Cukup melangkah ke satu arah
Stutter step for one split second
Gagakan melangkah selama satu detik
Faster through the intersection
Lebih cepat melalui persimpangan
A Jackknife to a swan and he was gone
Jackknife menjadi angsa dan dia pergi
When Walter's shift was over
Saat giliran Walter selesai
He'd head out to catch the red line home
Dia akan menuju ke rumah merah itu
Two stops away his family slept
Dua pemberhentian keluarganya pun tertidur
He'd be there when they got out of bed
Dia akan berada di sana saat mereka bangun dari tempat tidur
Destination Subway Station
Stasiun Subway Tujuan
Someone yelled so he looked back
Seseorang berteriak sehingga dia menengok ke belakang
Five guys were heading his way
Lima orang sedang menuju ke arahnya
He ran to catch that last train home
Dia berlari untuk mengejar kereta terakhir itu
Step in one direction
Langkah ke satu arah
Stutter step for one split second
Gagakan melangkah selama satu detik
Faster through the intersection
Lebih cepat melalui persimpangan
A Jackknife to a swan and he was gone
Jackknife menjadi angsa dan dia pergi
Oh Walter ran – did they kill Evelyn?
Oh Walter berlari – apakah mereka membunuh Evelyn?
He had his token in his hand
Dia memegang token di tangannya
But he jumped over the turnstile
Tapi dia melompat melewati pintu putar
And he ran down the platform
Dan dia berlari menuruni panggung
They were hot on his heels
Mereka panas di tumitnya
An outbound was bearing down on him
Sebuah outbound membebani dia
Walter jumped in front of it
Walter melompat ke depannya
Just step in one direction
Cukup melangkah ke satu arah
Stutter step for one split second
Gagakan melangkah selama satu detik
Faster through the intersection
Lebih cepat melalui persimpangan
A Jackknife to a swan and he was gone
Jackknife menjadi angsa dan dia pergi
