Lyrics
Fatally shot I got myself in trouble
Ready or not as I emerge from the rubble
You look to me but I take the lead from you
Been lost in this maze for a number of days with you
Shorten my days let the nighttime linger on
Ten thousand ways to sing a lonely song
You look to me but I take the lead from you
Been lost in this maze for a number of days with you
One after one they fall to the gun
Under the burning desert sun (we'll catch you if you run)
Shouting out for a body count
Hope your bullets don't run out (hope your bullets don't run out)
Your bones will crack in a sneak attack gone wrong
The trap is sprung and the deed is done and gone
You look to me but I take the lead from you
Been lost in this maze for a number of days with you
