Why so close

Big boys in black hats

Cowboys with white guns

White guns shoot blue white

Blue white baptism

No buffaloes

No Indians

No more buffaloes

Red sky is falling

Blue blood no stalling

White heat will strip you

No time to run far

(refrain 1)

Ivan's built(got) a wall of lead 'round his house

Nobody can get in or out

Running out of food for ammunition

Frightened of the darkness

Sending out scouts

Why hang the fire so close

Why so close

(refrain 2)

Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle

Wore headphones since he was born

Watches Ivan through dark glasses

Hand('s) on his gun waiting for the storm

One false move and we all fall down

No funeral games, no such fun

Here's your ticket to the party

That's what you get for playing with a gun

Six-gun so close

(refrain 1)

(refrain 2)

Why stand the fire so close

Why?
