Lyrics:

Setting sun deals hands of gold

There’s velvet eyes in Mexico

Just a fall away

And all she said was true

Speak in tongues, speak in lies

Drooling livers, born to die

It’s a wonder that those guns don’t point at you

Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever

Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever

Point and shoot, I know just what you mean

In a world that’s full of shit and gasoline, baby

One dog’s dead one’s on the phone

Just leave a lung or leave it alone

It’s that same on song again

I hate it cause it’s true

Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever

Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever
