The song opens with a woman calling for Martin, who is on his way back to the city. The woman lights up Martin's necklace and tells him to come to her. Martin steps out of the way, but the woman pushes him away. Martin asks if he has had a nightmare, and the woman responds that he has. Martin tells her that he is satisfied with the food he has tasted so far, and that humans are "the overlords" . He asks if they have digital maps, and Martin replies that they do, but that they are not currently under any radio-coverage. Martin says that he would have noticed if Freddie had taken him on a "department on purpose" last time. Martin wonders if they will be able to return without food and water, since they have not seen any of the "relics" that are supposed to be around. He says that Freddie is here, and he cannot let them go. He wonders if there is a "dust storm" coming, which is not a "sand storm" but a "rattling rumble"
