Alto Loma Road Lyrics - Quantum Jump - Quantum Jump

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.
