Lyrics

Just A Western

Cuz there's something baby please don't cry
Here's the silver save me from my kind
There's no getting off this hook
Cuz there's no way in and there's no way out
But if something makes you shook

Life's not a western
You're up all night
Beautiful lines that can make you feel something
Cuz there's no way now
Only burns my eyes

Cuz it shines like your shoes never
Cuz the sun on your face never change
There's a darkness in me
Even more takes up your time
I won't call in a favour
Won't do it for free anymore
Shut up won't you listen won't you?
Talk to me your beautiful dream
Little more we leave this life
Cuz the sun on your face never change
Won't you do it for me anymore?

Cuz if something makes you shook
Cuz there's no way in and there's no way out
There's no getting off this hook
My life's just a western
Your born to fight
No luck all night
Can you make it till sunset?
Cuz there's no way now
Only blurs my eyes

Yeah you sound like a fool In love
In love
Cuz the sun on your face never change
There's a darkness in me
Even more takes up your time
I won't call in a favour
Won't do it for free anymore
Shut up won't you listen won't you?
Talk to me your beautiful dream
Little more we leave this life
Cuz the sun on your face never change
Won't you do it for me anymore?
Cuz the sun on your face never change
There's a darkness in me
Even more takes up your time
I won't call in a favour
Won't do it for free anymore
Shut up won't you listen won't you?
Walk to me your beautiful dream
Little more we leave this life
Cuz the sun on your face never change
Won't you do it for me anymore?
Cuz the sun on your face never change
Won't you do it for me anymore?
Shut up won't you listen won't you?
La la la la la la laa
Mmm mmmm hhhmmmmmm
