lyrics
Is it almost enough or is it never done
Making this seem like it’s had its run
Do we wait for it to stop, should we listen for the gun
On our marks, get set, drop. I don’t care who’s won
Try to keep things up and up on the narrow and straight
I could use what I got but they’ll use it as bait
Time to really hang it up and leave them all to rust
Pack it up and head out east, solitude or bust
A flash in the pan but I’d jump in the fire
I’d be the first to go down if it’s down to the wire
Do we wait for it to stop, should we listen for the gun
On our marks, get set, drop. I don’t care who’s won
Making this seem like it’s had its run
Do we wait for it to stop, should we listen for the gun
On our marks, get set, drop. I don’t care who’s won
Try to keep things up and up on the narrow and straight
I could use what I got but they’ll use it as bait
Time to really hang it up and leave them all to rust
Pack it up and head out east, solitude or bust
A flash in the pan but I’d jump in the fire
I’d be the first to go down if it’s down to the wire
Do we wait for it to stop, should we listen for the gun
On our marks, get set, drop. I don’t care who’s won
