Ten Paces

should we take ten paces turn and fire
find a dirt road in some small town
over is over, shoot each other dead
whistle marie elaina as the sun goes down

it's such a waste to patch things up
we always come back to the same place
making lame excuses, I didn't mean it
better to blow a kiss, leave without a trace

Pre Chorus

yet it's as if we're frozen in a deep freeze
no matter how hard we try, there's no release

Chorus

the music starts, we swing, we tango
we are the rhythm, we are the beat
our systems overloaded with heat
my cape is smooth like satin sheets
our souls flying, we convice ourselves
that our wounded hearts are lying

Bridge

but when the music stops
we're back to where we came from
our passion not quite as hot
in the dull echo of a big a bass drum

should we take ten paces turn and fire
find a dirt road in some small town
over is over, shoot each other dead
whistle marie elaina as the sun goes down

the music starts, we swing, we tango

...............

the music stops

............

should we take ten paces turn and fire
