out of the sun, into the shade
crumble inside, crumble inside
head like a drum, under the sun
welcome inside, welcome inside

barbed wire killed the cowboy
thought he had it made

cant get a gig, cant get a shave
we will decide, you’re ill advised
cant hear a sound, under the house
he sleeps away, he sleeps away

barbed wire killed the cowboy
thought he’d gone insane
magnetic hole that he calls his grave
on a set on a stage set on a stage

mannequin is so ecstatic, galaxies wobble and he
don’t change his face, don’t change his face

barbed wire killed the cowboy
at least that’s what they say
