Went to the doctor
to see what could be given
he said "sorry son, you got to do your own livin'"

Went to the pastor
to hear what he would say
he said "sorry son, come back later. Sometime after judgement day."

There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mothership will save you
So goes the rapture of Riddley Walker

Church yard was empty
School yard was bare
wind in the streets
wind in the air
pockets of diamonds
and nothing to buy
scream out hello
and get no reply

Victims of zombies
convene in the park
for any man with dignity
makes an easy mark
heaven is a long ways away
heaven is a long long long long ways away

There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mothership will save you
The rapture of Riddley Walker

How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shatter.
Eusa roam.

Drop-John been climbing on Riddley's back.
Follow the power, a natural fact.
Orfing & Ardship, hardship is plain.
Hardly Goodparley is ever the same.
Shadows and phantom's convene in the snow.
Among the low whispers are voices you know.
Heaven is a long ways away. Heaven is a long, long, long, long ways away.

There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mothership will save you
The rapture of Riddley Walker

How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shatter.
Eusa roam.
