[Verse 1]
Fell in rows, just like dominoes
Held the line for just one day
Standing in perfect columns still
Graves lined up across the hill

[Chorus]
Pistols at dawn
Aw, now you done it baby
Oh no, ooh
I shoulda figured
You always make a fuss
Ooh-ooh-ooh
What, you’re an expert?
You read about it somewhere?
Baby, oh
“He had it coming”
It’s always something with you
Wo-oah, oh

[Verse 2]
Civilized, evil eyes
Seen so much, we've gone blind
Friendly face in the firing squad
In the end it’s nice to know someone at a party
[Chorus]
I guess I mighta
Sounded a little crazy
Maybe, oh
I only think of things
I shouldn’t do
Ooh-ooh, no
It’s like a puzzle
We sing about it sometimes
Always, oh
Thought we were ready
Three-thousand years too soon
Wo-oah, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Temporary things last forever
And nothing exists
Temporary things last forever
And nothing exists
We'll ride into the flame
If that's what it takes
We'll ride into the flame
If that's what it takes

[Bridge]
Breakdown
We're not there entirely
We are free, but we're not free
See the list of silenced ones
From the grave they sing us psalms
These are the things that I must do
They are not meant to upset you
Some might just not be ready for the truth
[Chorus]
When you first met me
I’s prolly doing something crazy
Baby, oh
We're not that special
What don't you understand?
Yeah, wo-oah
You always worry
About things that just don't matter
Always, yeah
Another puzzle
I’d like to solve with you
Wo-oah, oh

[Outro]
We might like to have fun
But we will ride into the flame if that is what it takes
Or we might never know
