Shortly after Evelyn was doused with gasoline
  And just a few miles off the avenue
  A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke
  For thirty years Walter worked right there
  Five days out of every week
  That's where he watched his hometown fade
  The last came fast and furious
  Just step in one direction
  Stutter step for one split second
  Faster through the intersection
  A jackknife to a swan and he was gone
  When Walter's shift was over
  He'd head out to catch the red line home
  Two stops away his family slept
  He'd be there when they got out of bed
  Destination subway station
  Someone yelled so he looked back
  Five guys were heading his way
  He ran to catch that last train home
  Just step in one direction
  Stutter step for one split second
  Faster through the intersection
  A jackknife to a swan and he was gone
    Oh Walter ran and did they kill Evelyn?
  He had his token in his hand
  But he jumped over the turnstile
  And he ran down the platform
  They were hot on his heels
  An outbound was bearing down on him
  Walter jumped in front of it
  ( Just step in one direction
  Stutter step for one split second
  Faster through the intersection
  A jackknife to a swan and he was gone [x2] )
