Album: There Must Be Some Way To Stop Them (2003)

Do It For Sixty

We both hesitated as we step from the line.
Cause one of us is going down, and it's not my time.
All thoughts concentrated. Count down till the last.
Each pace takes us closer. One of us will pass.

It's sooner than you think.
Setting like the sun.
Where you can't come back again.
It's only in the hands.
It's only in the eyes.
To put you where you can't come back again.

And the piece is situated.
It leaps in my hands.
Each time I pull,
Each time I aim.

And we're gonna meet at high noon.
We're gonna dual tonight.
And it's all because :

I'd do it for sixty,
But you'd do it for free.
Why you would is a mystery.
So lets do it, do it and see.

I'd do it for sixty,
But you'd do it for free.
Why you would is a mystery.
So lets do it, do it and see.

The dust darkened sky.
Hands held so still.
We turn on one, and let it fly,
Let it fly straightly.

It's speeding home.
A bleeding badge.
On your lapel.
Stains the ground, stains the ground where you feel.

It's sooner than you think.
Setting like the sun.
Where you can't come back again.
It's only in the hands.
It's only in the eyes.
To put you where you can't come back again.

I'd do it for sixty,
But you'd do it for free.
Why you would is a mystery.
So lets do it, do it and see.
