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
