[Verse 1]

Fell in rows, just like dominoes

Held the line for just one day

Standing in perfect columns still

Graves lined up across the hill

[Chorus]

Pistols at dawn

Aw, now you done it baby

Oh no, ooh

I shoulda figured

You always make a fuss

Ooh-ooh-ooh

What, you’re an expert?

You read about it somewhere?

Baby, oh

“He had it coming”

It’s always something with you

Wo-oah, oh

[Verse 2]

Civilized, evil eyes

Seen so much, we've gone blind

Friendly face in the firing squad

In the end it’s nice to know someone at a party

[Chorus]

I guess I mighta

Sounded a little crazy

Maybe, oh

I only think of things

I shouldn’t do

Ooh-ooh, no

It’s like a puzzle

We sing about it sometimes

Always, oh

Thought we were ready

Three-thousand years too soon

Wo-oah, oh

[Post-Chorus]

Temporary things last forever

And nothing exists

Temporary things last forever

And nothing exists

We'll ride into the flame

If that's what it takes

We'll ride into the flame

If that's what it takes

[Bridge]

Breakdown

We're not there entirely

We are free, but we're not free

See the list of silenced ones

From the grave they sing us psalms

These are the things that I must do

They are not meant to upset you

Some might just not be ready for the truth

[Chorus]

When you first met me

I’s prolly doing something crazy

Baby, oh

We're not that special

What don't you understand?

Yeah, wo-oah

You always worry

About things that just don't matter

Always, yeah

Another puzzle

I’d like to solve with you

Wo-oah, oh

[Outro]

We might like to have fun

But we will ride into the flame if that is what it takes

Or we might never know
