  • Follow the power lines back from the road
    No one around so I take off my clothes
    Am I the only one in the only world?
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, whoa

    I see the snake holes dotted in the sand
    As if the Seurat painted the Rio Grande
    Am I the only the one in the only world?
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, whoa

    Sweatin', sweatin'
    No one is behind me
    Sweatin' sweatin'
    No one will ever find me

    The only sound out here is my own breath
    And my feet stuttering to make a path
    Am I the only one in the only world?

    Is that the wind finally picking up?
    Is that a rattle sounding from the brush?
    I'm not the only one in the only world
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, whoa

    Runnin', runnin'
    Runnin' rattle behind me
    Runnin', runnin'
    No one will ever find me
    Runnin', runnin'
    Runnin' rattle behind me
    Runnin', runnin'
    No one will ever find me
    Sweatin', sweatin'
    Sweatin' rattle behind me
    Runnin', runnin'
    No one will ever find me
    Sweatin', sweatin'
    Sweatin' rattle behind me
    Runnin', runnin'
    No one will ever find me Writer/s: ANNE ERIN CLARK
