Why So Close [Orchestral]

Why so close?
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes, no Indians
No more buffaloes

Red sky is falling
Blue blood, no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far

Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why so close?

Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness, sending out scouts

Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hands on his gun, waiting for the storm

Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why stand the fire so close? (Why?)
Why so close?
