lyrics

We all get ours in the end, I hope.
Choking to death in the blue, black smoke
Forsake morality of fixed points
Distort the images we anoint.
Hide our mistakes in an illusion
Of something that's divine in our lives
Life's sly I know, but sloppy at best.
By now my trust it rots at the head.

The quick and the dead (x2)
who can run forever
the quick and the dead (x2)
keep reaching for the spotlight
the quick and the dead(x2)
cut in half you gasp
the quick and the dead (x2)
last breaths on the marlboro mile

Think of what's been given to get here
Of what's been gained from all this effort
Why's it that concessions of their views
matter more than arguments we choose?

The quick and the dead (x2)
do you see a world on fire?
The quick and the dead (x2)
Or do you dwell in sunlight?
I cast long shadows (x4)

We used to be
Good friends I think
I thought that we could help each other and I was wrong
but pride comes before the fall dont you know
don't you know...
And you can blame me for everything that happened
Am I smart am I brave or just ready to die?
