Quantum Jump - Alto Loma Road lyrics

I met a man on a train The kind of man who puts fire out with flame I made a note of his name I dare not say it I'm afraid of his fame We met one Sunday at dawn Outside a mansion on the Alta Loma Road He took my throat in his hands And told me softly I was going to die He wouldn't let me explain I felt him shudder as I Whispered a name A name that cut to the bone He screamed God help me won't she Leave me alone I ran like Hell. He was a mountain of shame Humiliation - The name of the game He never could be the same He needed vengeance if it Drove him insane He carved my name on a stone My destination - The Alta Loma Road Deep in a hole in the ground My few possessions lying scattered around And now I hide in the shade I dream of murder, his face and my grave A dream that cuts to the bone Oh please God help me won't he Leave me alone I ran like Hell If you should see me on the outside Say I look a little like the man you heard just die It's the only way I know to stay alive.
