Huh. Maybe I'm too literal. I first heard this back in the 80s and was reading a lot of cyberpunk. I kind of always associated this era of industrial with it.
Anyway, I translated it literally. It's a song about a bounty hunter hunting down some genius (maybe programmer or other information expert) who's wanted for some very urgent reason. But he plans to double cross the his employer and sell the man to the competition to make him rich and famous.
But ultimately he'll kill the genius if either side crosses him. And he's explaining this to someone -probably to a contact who might know where he is.
The whole piece is a vignette. A snapshot of time in this bounty hunter's life.
