Finest Day
The snow falls outside
All the ash levitates
Im not concerned with dates
From this i cant hide
I throw on my jacket
Which raises a commotion
Its warmth and i lack it
Im like the deep cold ocean
So shoot me down
Shoot the whole town
With your revolver
But youre no problem solver
You could wander the city
With your artificial dignity
For you i have no pity
You are all that is gritty
If i must fall before your gun
I shall do it with without falling
I will fight until the battle is won
Quick hands is what im hauling
So lets get out on the dusty street
We must settle this once for all
Because its our skill that must meet
One of us must answer Gods call
Youre just a corrupt official
Everything about you is superficial
So come on out sheriff
Ill punish your mischief
You finally come out
This will be legendary
I have no doubt
And you speak wiith sudden clarity:
"Now watch everyone
While i kill this man
Put into him all the bullets i can
Until im satisfied and done"
But i know your prophesy is a falsity
I know that my rebellion shall come through
And our way will not be faulty
For it does not involve anything to do with you
We spread apart five feet then ten
We back up so the space is twenty
Even though im not used to killing lawmen
My hand is steady but nerves i have plenty
Its time for the gun to decide though
Time for everything to be put away
I dont let any of my fear show
And realize that it has become my finest day
(its a western!)
