Song lyrics
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinner, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her black mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on

But, don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby, don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me
Put it down [2x]

So get your gun
And leave me by the door

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby Don't stop
Bury me and fade to black [2x]

Bands have crappy performances and good performances...or crappy performances and good cd mixers. I kinda wouldn't know coz I'm staying in the Philippines and I don't think they'll bother passing by.

I cant hear the subliminal message that vooki's talking about...

This song's all western and it would be really cool if they made a video. Hehe. . People should try and explain the terms like Black Mariah and the significance of spades in one line...

* offtopic :
About Gerard's Bisexuality, I really dislike it when people judge the whole personality of the band and music just because of that. Seriously, in this day and age, people should be more open-minded to these things. Being Homophobic is Discrimination. Remember that.

Hey, does anyone know what they're saying in the background of the music when Gerard is saying "She won't stop me, put it down" the first time around? It sounds like babble, maybe a piece of conversation in the studio or something that accidentally slipped in. If it's a subliminal message, then I swear I'm to freak out...
