Plastic Letters (1977) by

Youth Nabbed As Sniper (Stein) - 3:00
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his .22
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight
But you must wait and I must fight this nothingness
Walls, I see my little room, I hear my parents friends
I hope that my actions make amends
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so far above the ground
Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can move us through the night
But you must wait and I must fight this emptiness
Black top burns with silent screams, others stop my dreams
Lightning crash, crash, crash
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool
I died in the evening after school
Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own
