[Incomprehensible]   She said not now, she said not now   She said not now, she said not now      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 down his burden   The four sided clock began to chime   7 a.m., 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, 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, 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?   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 he 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 barricades   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 coming, 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 where they are      [Incomprehensible]   She said not now, she said not now   She said not now, she said not now      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 tones 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, 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 goin' 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            She said not now, she said not now      As the copter dropped the gas he shouted, " Who cares ?"   They could hear him laughing as they started up the stairs   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
