billy was the picked on one,
and he really couldnt stand it,
one day he found a gun,
with disregard for commandment,
he put it in his bag,
and he walked to jimmy's house,
and showed him what he had,
and he put it to his mouth,
and he gave a letter to jimmy,
that said all he had been feelin',
he closed his eyes, and tensed up,
and blew himself to the ceilin',
and jimmy stood there stupid,
then went into hysterics,
he dropped the note and grabbed the gun,
because he couldnt bear it,
as he cocked the weapon, heavy and black,
he looked at the mangled face,
he started to pray, and shake and cry,
that picture he couldnt erase,
so quivering jimmy, still praying and crying,
dropped down to his knees with a thud,
he pulled the trigger, and sobbingly found,
that the deathsentence had been a dud,
with tears in his eyes, he called the police,
and they came to pick up poor dead bill,
jimmy got taken away with those guys,
he was so overwhelmed he couldnt feel,
and thats what it means to be numb,
so disconcerted all you see is haze,
and once it has happened, you might as well sit,
and drink out the rest of your days.
