lyrics

The ball of his shoulder
nudges through the door
the man with no name
knows what he’s there for
his foe dead on the floor

He damn well can carry himself
his shoulders calmly back
his hands are at his sides
and he’s ready to attack
Hear his hammer click back
his shot is right on track

a romantic notion
he keeps his cool
a romantic notion
he knows just what he’ll do
when the world surrounds him
he brushes the dust from his shirt
and takes that fateful step

The gun makes the rules
The best shot is the king
The most beautiful voice
Rarely gets to sing
Instead they feel the sting
of the one who is king

The man with no name once was asked
“Aren’t you a fan of peace?”
He answered “How could I be a fan,
of something I’ve never seen?
If I dropped my guard
for just a second, I’d be dead
and so I just go ahead and do
what needs to be done
what needs to be done”

a romantic notion
he keeps his cool
a romantic notion
he knows just what he’ll do
when the world surrounds him
he brushes the dust from his shirt
and takes that fateful step
One he knows ends with death
