A Single Lonely Voice
______________

Looking in the mirror,
Though your age doesn't show.
Getting ready for the job at hand,
It's the only thing that you really know.

Driving down the streets,
Looking at the ladies with their husbands.
You'll be ready to relax with your wife,
Once this job is done.

<Chorus>

Cause I am a...
Lonely Voice,
Brings about a
Lonely Choice.
Leaves you standing alone and straight,
Just like a soldier boy.

You end up hanging by yourself without any fun,
Always lurching down that silent run.

Which leads you back to the...
Lonely Voice,
Brings about a
Lonely Choice.
Makes you hot and dry,
Rather than cool and moist.

You end up hanging by yourself without any fun,
Always lurching down that silent run.

<End Chorus>

Reahcing the alley,
As you step outside.
You stare straight in the druggie's eyes,
You don't even let him know why.

He punches you in the jaw,
As a struggles ensues.
You take out your sidekick and blast him in the chest,
For it's just a job to do.

<Chorus>

Cause I am a...
Lonely Voice,
Brings about a
Lonely Choice.
Leaves you standing alone and straight,
Just like a soldier boy.

You end up hanging by yourself without any fun,
Always lurching down that silent run.

Which leads you back to the...
Lonely Voice,
Brings about a
Lonely Choice.
Makes you hot and dry,
Rather than cool and moist.

You end up hanging by yourself without any fun,
Always lurching down that silent run.

<End Chorus>

You imagine all the cash you'll make,
A hitman for hire.
There's another operation to bring down,
You hear it on the wire.

You head home quickly,
To help your endangered wife.
Inside, you notice one of the druggies' pals',
And your wife lying on the ground, bleeding from a knife.

As tears roll down your face,
The Boss is calling, you can hear his voice.
The enemy escapes,
As you kneel down by your dying wife...
Just a single lonely choice.

Here's an even better ending. My sister helped me with it. Cross out the last two paragraphs, and add these two paragraphs into its' place:

You see a hooded figure,
Brandishing a knife.
Shooting point blank at the target,
As the bloody cap falls, you realize it's your wife.

As tears roll down your face,
The boss is calling, you can hear his voice.
You kneel down by your suffering wife...
Just a single lonely choice.

And, that's it! Morbid, yes, but I'd like to think it's a nice twist on the song. :)

Very well written. I like the following part but I've been battling evil forces all day so I'm a little battle weary right about now this late at night.

Keep up the writing....I enjoy reading it.

The word which comes to mind is "mercenary".....

A good writing indeed....well spoken.

Thanks again for the comments, guys! :D It's what keeps me writing in the first place.

You're most welcome. Never give up on that writing. There are always subjects to write about. I'd post more......but honestly because of the content of my writings I cannot post many of them here.....it would not be appropriate nor make a lot of sense to most.
