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?
