Array ( [sid] => 67257 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dead Man [time] => 2004-10-13 13:45:23 [hometext] => Its a song really ~ I wrote it for my daughter's ex-boyfriend, who just couldn't seem to get the hint that he had overstayed his welcome .... [bodytext] => (opening chorus, chanted by children’s voices)

Dead man walking
Dead man run
Dead man can’t hide
From a gun
In his face you see his fear
Dead men quickly disappear

(music intro ~ battling lead guitars)

In a flash of light
You will fall down
Body burns before
It hits the ground

Past is present
Your future’s gone
Within the darkness
There is no dawn

Dead man walking
Dead man run
Dead man can’t hide
From a gun
In your face I see the fear
Dead men quickly disappear

He said, she said
Who said what?
The scene’s rescripted
Your part’s been cut

Let me clarify
To ease your doubt
You’re not wanted
Get the F(edit) out

Dead man walking
Dead man run
Dead man can’t hide
From a gun
In your face I see the fear
Dead men quickly disappear

(instrumental break)

(a very poor rap attempt)

You – thought you were a legendary player of your time
You’ve finally come to see that it was only in your mind
Better find a lucky rabbit’s foot, perhaps a four-leaf clover
‘Cuz me an Mr Browning got a message for you, poser
Wake up and smell the coffee A(edit)hole, Game Over

Dead man walking
Dead man run
Dead man can’t hide
From a gun
In your face I see the fear
Dead men quickly disappear

(children’s voices repeat and fade)

Dead man walking
Dead man run
Dead man can’t hide
From a gun
In his face you see his fear
Dead men quickly disappear

I wouldn't want to make you angry, Scott! lol. Very intense write; full of raw emotion and hate. Loved this! Another piece of perfection! The rap attempt was tres bien, mon chasseur! I like the whole feel to this poem; chilling, anger, rage... Hope your daughter is coping well. I know how a break up can hurt you; a lot. Beautiful. Perfect. I thank you, divine poet, for this angsty piece! Loved it! Eternally yours,

Fleur de Sang

I like your broad range
of ideas and ways of
expressing them.

This is why
you are always
a good read.

This is really, really
good stuff.
An understated epic.

So cool!

Naz, very creative and well written in my opinion. It's a good thing that our mind provides us with defense mechanisms so we can write rather then act out our anger ....
just kidding of course.

This song could probably hit the top ten Country Charts, Willofree
