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
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
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
Why stand the fire so close
Why?
