| [00:24.38] | Don't bug me |
| [00:24.97] | It is an early Monday morning |
| [00:29.01] | The sun is becoming bright on the land |
| [00:36.39] | No one is watching as he comes a walking |
| [00:40.20] | Two bulky suitcases hang from his hands |
| [00:47.61] | He heads towards the tower that stands in the campus |
| [00:51.55] | He goes through the door he starts up the stairs |
| [00:58.71] | The sound of his footsteps the sound of his breathing |
| [01:02.54] | The sound of the silence when no one was there |
| [01:14.12] | I didn't really know him |
| [01:16.48] | He was kind of strange |
| [01:19.36] | Always sort of sat there |
| [01:21.74] | He never seemed to change |
| [01:36.16] | He reached the catwalk |
| [01:37.93] | He put done his burden |
| [01:39.84] | The four sided clock began to chime |
| [01:46.61] | Seven AM the day is beginning |
| [01:50.47] | So much to do and so little time |
| [01:57.14] | He looks at the city where no one had known him |
| [02:00.92] | He looks at the sky where no one looks down |
| [02:07.61] | He looks at his life and what it has shown him |
| [02:11.41] | He looks for his shadow it cannot be found |
| [02:22.95] | He was such a moody child very hard to touch |
| [02:28.51] | Even as a baby he never smiled too much |
| [02:33.33] | No no |
| [02:37.86] | No no |
| [02:43.24] | You bug me she said |
| [02:45.85] | Your ugly she said |
| [02:48.31] | Please hug me I said |
| [02:50.03] | But she just sat there |
| [02:52.78] | With the same flat stare |
| [02:55.31] | That she saves for me alone |
| [02:57.78] | When I'm home |
| [03:01.71] | When I'm home |
| [03:05.42] | Take me home |
| [03:09.76] | He laid out the rifles he loaded the shotgun |
| [03:13.45] | He stacked up the cartridges along the wall |
| [03:19.78] | He knew he would need them for his conversation |
| [03:23.34] | If it went as it he planned then he might use them all |
| [03:29.52] | He said listen you people I've got a question |
| [03:33.50] | You won't pay attention but I'll ask anyhow |
| [03:40.11] | I found a way that will get me an answer |
| [03:43.34] | Been waiting to ask you till now |
| [03:48.96] | Right now |
| [03:52.87] | Am I |
| [03:54.70] | I am a lover whose never been kissed |
| [03:58.32] | Am I |
| [04:00.12] | I am a fighter whose not made a fist |
| [04:03.59] | Am I |
| [04:05.55] | If I'm alive then there's so much I've missed |
| [04:09.07] | How do I know I exist |
| [04:16.25] | Are you listening to me |
| [04:17.87] | Are you listening to me |
| [04:19.92] | Am I |
| [04:27.03] | The first words he spoke took the town by surprise |
| [04:31.48] | One got Mrs Gibbons above her right eye |
| [04:37.18] | It blew her through the window wedged her against the door |
| [04:41.53] | Reality poured from her face staining the floor |
| [04:52.39] | He was kind of creepy |
| [04:54.85] | Sort of a dunce |
| [04:56.73] | I met him at the corner bar |
| [04:59.05] | I only dated the poor boy once |
| [05:01.15] | That's all |
| [05:04.70] | Just once that was all |
| [05:11.49] | Bill Whedon was questioned as stepped from his car |
| [05:14.81] | Tom Scott ran across the street but he never got that far |
| [05:18.25] | The police were there in minutes they set up baricades |
| [05:21.56] | He spoke right on over them in a half-mile circle |
| [05:24.94] | In a dumb struck city his pointed questions were sprayed |
| [05:35.71] | He knocked over Danny Tyson as he ran towards the noise |
| [05:39.05] | Just about then the answers started comming sweet sweet joy |
| [05:44.27] | Thudding in the clock face whining off the walls |
| [05:47.58] | Reaching up to where he sat there answering calls |
| [05:52.89] | Thirty-seven people got his message so far |
| [05:56.05] | Yes he was reaching them right were they are |
| [06:02.44] | She said no no |
| [06:04.05] | She said no no |
| [06:07.66] | They set up an assault team they asked for volunteers |
| [06:11.01] | They had to go and get him that much was clear |
| [06:14.29] | And the word spread about him on the radios and TV's |
| [06:17.55] | In appropriately sober tone they asked |
| [06:20.41] | Who can it be |
| [06:29.50] | He was a very dull boy very taciturn |
| [06:34.29] | Not much of a joiner he did not want to learn |
| [06:38.22] | No no |
| [06:43.12] | No no |
| [06:47.91] | They're coming to get me they don't want to let me |
| [06:52.41] | Stay in the bright light too long |
| [06:58.79] | It's getting on noon now it's going to be soon now |
| [07:03.32] | But oh what a wonderful sound |
| [07:15.78] | Mama won't you nurse me |
| [07:24.12] | Rain me down the sweet milk of your kindness |
| [07:33.59] | Mama it's getting worse for me |
| [07:41.98] | Won't you please make me warm and mindless |
| [07:51.32] | Mama yes you have cursed me |
| [07:59.21] | I never will forgive you for your blindness |
| [08:07.56] | I hate you |
| [08:14.40] | The wires are all humming for me |
| [08:17.82] | And I can hear them coming for me |
| [08:21.35] | Soon they'll be here but there's nothing to fear |
| [08:24.62] | Not any more though they've blasted the door |
| [08:37.99] | As the copter dropped the gas he shouted |
| [08:40.10] | Who cares |
| [08:41.32] | They could hear him laughing as they started up the stairs |
| [08:46.23] | As they stormed out on the catwalk blinking at the sun |
| [08:49.48] | With their final fusillade his answer had come |
| [09:00.17] | Am I |
| [09:03.60] | There is no way that you can hide me |
| [09:07.08] | Am I |
| [09:10.48] | Though you have put your fire inside me |
| [09:13.79] | Am I |
| [09:16.98] | You've given me my answer can't you see |
| [09:23.62] | I was |
| [09:27.04] | I am |
| [09:30.30] | And now I will be |
| [09:36.50] | I will be |

| [04:37.18] | It blew her through the window wedged her against the door |
| [04:41.53] | Reality poured from her face staining the floor |
| [04:52.39] | He was kind of creepy |
| [04:54.85] | Sort of a dunce |
| [04:56.73] | I met him at the corner bar |
| [04:59.05] | I only dated the poor boy once |
| [05:01.15] | That' s all |
| [05:04.70] | Just once that was all |
| [05:11.49] | Bill Whedon was questioned as stepped from his car |
| [05:14.81] | Tom Scott ran across the street but he never got that far |
| [05:18.25] | The police were there in minutes they set up baricades |
| [05:21.56] | He spoke right on over them in a half-mile circle |
| [05:24.94] | In a dumb struck city his pointed questions were sprayed |
| [05:35.71] | He knocked over Danny Tyson as he ran towards the noise |
| [05:39.05] | Just about then the answers started comming sweet sweet joy |
| [05:44.27] | Thudding in the clock face whining off the walls |
| [05:47.58] | Reaching up to where he sat there answering calls |
| [05:52.89] | Thirty-seven people got his message so far |
| [05:56.05] | Yes he was reaching them right were they are |
| [06:02.44] | She said no no |
| [06:04.05] | She said no no |
| [06:07.66] | They set up an assault team they asked for volunteers |
| [06:11.01] | They had to go and get him that much was clear |
| [06:14.29] | And the word spread about him on the radios and TV' s |
| [06:17.55] | In appropriately sober tone they asked |
| [06:20.41] | Who can it be |
| [06:29.50] | He was a very dull boy very taciturn |
| [06:34.29] | Not much of a joiner he did not want to learn |
| [06:38.22] | No no |
| [06:43.12] | No no |
| [06:47.91] | They' re coming to get me they don' t want to let me |
| [06:52.41] | Stay in the bright light too long |
| [06:58.79] | It' s getting on noon now it' s going to be soon now |
| [07:03.32] | But oh what a wonderful sound |
| [07:15.78] | Mama won' t you nurse me |
| [07:24.12] | Rain me down the sweet milk of your kindness |
| [07:33.59] | Mama it' s getting worse for me |
| [07:41.98] | Won' t you please make me warm and mindless |
| [07:51.32] | Mama yes you have cursed me |
| [07:59.21] | I never will forgive you for your blindness |
| [08:07.56] | I hate you |
| [08:14.40] | The wires are all humming for me |
| [08:17.82] | And I can hear them coming for me |
| [08:21.35] | Soon they' ll be here but there' s nothing to fear |
| [08:24.62] | Not any more though they' ve blasted the door |
| [08:37.99] | As the copter dropped the gas he shouted |
| [08:40.10] | Who cares |
| [08:41.32] | They could hear him laughing as they started up the stairs |
| [08:46.23] | As they stormed out on the catwalk blinking at the sun |
| [08:49.48] | With their final fusillade his answer had come |
| [09:00.17] | Am I |
| [09:03.60] | There is no way that you can hide me |
| [09:07.08] | Am I |
| [09:10.48] | Though you have put your fire inside me |
| [09:13.79] | Am I |
| [09:16.98] | You' ve given me my answer can' t you see |
| [09:23.62] | I was |
| [09:27.04] | I am |
| [09:30.30] | And now I will be |
| [09:36.50] | I will be |
