once a guy on reddit really figured out the Runaway outro lyrics
he used reverse engineering, isolated the outro vocals from the instrumental, and visually analyzed the spectrogram to differentiate the words.
the outro is absolutely brilliant, the vocals were strategically distorted, with slightly less distortion on the familiar vocals from the first part of the song.
if you listen to the outro while following the timestamped lyrics is a very interesting experience.
