Chekhov's Gun
The Cowboy
"A man's attitude it goes some wayTo determine how his life will be"Hairless brows give way to pools of darkness"Is that something with which you'd agree?"With the lights onThe stage falls out of my controlForegoneAppeasing those who do notKnow meDismiss ideals as dreamsIs he angry? Is he patient and jaded?Is there sadness in that vacant stare?Just a remnant of a youthful ambition?Was he also one who did not careFor the good lifeIs this all that I have to look forward to?The only path to takeProclaimed in neon lightsAbove meSingle file, we march, free.Letras de cancionesThere is sometimes a buggyAnd we always rideA quiet, peaceful lifeBut then who drives?When I come across CamillaFrom the photograph that they made sure I'd seeWill I lean to the producersAnd surrender what's left of my dignity?I can't stare into his eyesExpressionless faceI'll take what's mineA photocopied fateYet every night I see my EveMy serpent's fruit, my favorite dreamShe takes me away from everythingNo choice to make, I am redeemedIf II come across the CowboyTwo timesThen let the world rememberOnlyI was right to act wronglyAnd while he walks awayLights flickering, then goneI'm left out on the stageSo I stare towards the sunMy audience of one.
