109 in the sky, but the pigs won't quit.

"Look alive, Peroxide Parade."

He kept running

Until the echoes of the gunfire silenced

The Kid never quit

We sang lies of white dreams

Of cleaned up corporation progress

We wandered the railways forever

Until we heard Dr. Death Defying's call

We left our tracks

And went to war

Running was exhilarating

Carefree sailing the sands

My heroes fought alongside us

We blasted up the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W with the Ghoul

The Star obliterated the Corporation

The Party unleashed the Destroya on the enemy

But alas,

The Kid kept running

Smoke curled around my nose

As all the fire stopped for only a moment

A moment is never long enough

Fire resumed quickly

Before I could fall to the ground

To the Kid's side

I was seized into Korse's grasp

Falling away

But the thing was

I didnt care

I stopped running

I didn't look up when I heard the cries of my fellow Killjoys

I didn't look at Party tackling Korse

Or respond when Party asked if I was alright

Or help push past the drones in front of the escape doors

I was dead sunshine

The only thing occupying my running mind for eons on

Was the light behind Kid's eyes fleeing

Kid stopped running

Kid stopped running

Kid stopped running

Standing just beyond the escape

Party shoved me

¨Look alive, Peroxide Parade.¨

And that was it

I kept running

I was alive

I ran

Party fell to the ground

Ghoul was down

Star was down

I was the last runner

And I kept running
