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?
