( --- instrumental intro --- )

As I'm hanging on
Sky thunders
( It's ) Storming strong
Up a-bove
The replicant looks on

I lose my death-grip and
He reaches
And takes my hand
Why did he?
( Oh ) I don't understand


[ REPLICANT: ]

" I've seen things you won't believe ---
--- ships on fire off Orion's sleeve!
C-beams glitter, coruscate ---
--- near the Tannhauser gate!
And I wonder --- I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why?
Oh-why-why-why-why-why?
Why was I made? "


And I wonder,
Why me he'd aid?


I'm just a runner blade
A hunt-down, gun-down, runner blade


( --- instrumental --- )


Holds a dove there in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel his pain
Wishing he'd more years than three
Soon ends his misery

And he wonders
He wa-wa-wa-wa-wonders

Why

Ah-why-why-why-why-why --- why he was made ---

And I wonder,
Why me he'd aid?

I'm just a runner blade
A hunt-down, gun-down, runner blade
A run-down, gun-down, runner blade
A run-run, run-run, runner blade
