Lyrics:

Why so closeBig boys in black hatsCowboys with white gunsWhite guns shoot blue whiteBlue white baptismNo buffaloesNo IndiansNo more buffaloesRed sky is fallingBlue blood no stallingWhite heat will strip youNo time to run far(refrain 1)Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his houseNobody can get in or outRunning out of food for ammunitionFrightened of the darknessSending out scoutsWhy hang the fire so closeWhy hang the fire so closeWhy hang the fire so closeWhy so close(refrain 2)Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtleWore headphones since he was bornWatches Ivan through dark glassesHand on his gun waiting for the storm One false move and we all fall downNo funeral games, no such funHere's your ticket to the partyThat's what you get for playing with a gunSix-gun so close(refrain 1)Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his houseNobody can get in or outRunning out of food for ammunitionFrightened of the darknessSending out scouts(refrain 2)Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtleWore headphones since he was bornWatches Ivan through dark glassesHands on his gun waiting for the stormWhy stand the fire so close (Why)Why stand the fire so close (Why)Why stand the fire so close (Why)Why?
