Sniper - Harry Chapin

Written by：Chapin Harry F

Don't bug me

She said not now

Don't bug me

It is an early Monday morning

The sun is becoming bright on the land

No one is watching as he comes a walking

Two bulky suitcases hang from his hands

He heads towards the tower that stands in the campus

He goes through the door he starts up the stairs

The sound of his footsteps the sound of his breathing

The sound of the silence when no one was there

I didn't really know him

He was kind of strange

Always sort of sat there

He never seemed to change

He reached the catwalk

He put done his burden

The four sided clock began to chime

Seven AM the day is beginning

So much to do and so little time

He looks at the city where no one had known him

He looks at the sky where no one looks down

He looks at his life and what it has shown him

He looks for his shadow it cannot be found

He was such a moody child very hard to touch

Even as a baby he never smiled too much

No no

You bug me she said

Your ugly she said

Please hug me I said

But she just sat there

With the same flat stare

That she saves for me alone

When I'm home

Take me home

He laid out the rifles he loaded the shotgun

He stacked up the cartridges along the wall

He knew he would need them for his conversation

If it went as it he planned then he might use them all

He said listen you people I've got a question

You won't pay attention but I'll ask anyhow

I found a way that will get me an answer

Been waiting to ask you till now

Right now

Am I

I am a lover whose never been kissed

Am I

I am a fighter whose not made a fist

Am I

If I'm alive then there's so much I've missed

How do I know I exist

Are you listening to me

Am I

The first words he spoke took the town by surprise

One got Mrs Gibbons above her right eye

It blew her through the window wedged her against the door

Reality poured from her face staining the floor

He was kind of creepy

Sort of a dunce

I met him at the corner bar

I only dated the poor boy once

That's all

Just once that was all

Bill Whedon was questioned as stepped from his car

Tom Scott ran across the street but he never got that far

The police were there in minutes they set up baricades

He spoke right on over them in a half-mile circle

In a dumb struck city his pointed questions were sprayed

He knocked over Danny Tyson as he ran towards the noise

Just about then the answers started comming sweet sweet joy

Thudding in the clock face whining off the walls

Reaching up to where he sat there answering calls

Thirty-seven people got his message so far

Yes he was reaching them right were they are

She said no no

They set up an assault team they asked for volunteers

They had to go and get him that much was clear

And the word spread about him on the radios and TV's

In appropriately sober tone they asked

Who can it be

He was a very dull boy very taciturn

Not much of a joiner he did not want to learn

No no

They're coming to get me they don't want to let me

Stay in the bright light too long

It's getting on noon now it's going to be soon now

But oh what a wonderful sound

Mama won't you nurse me

Rain me down the sweet milk of your kindness

Mama it's getting worse for me

Won't you please make me warm and mindless

Mama yes you have cursed me

I never will forgive you for your blindness

I hate you

The wires are all humming for me

And I can hear them coming for me

Soon they'll be here but there's nothing to fear

Not any more though they've blasted the door

As the copter dropped the gas he shouted

Who cares

They could hear him laughing as they started up the stairs

As they stormed out on the catwalk blinking at the sun

With their final fusillade his answer had come

Am I

There is no way that you can hide me

Am I

Though you have put your fire inside me

Am I

You've given me my answer can't you see

I was

I am

And now I will be

I will be
