lyrics

Winding all night up a steep mountain trail
My posse’s shot up, my baby’s in jail.
Rain in my face, a hoof misplaced,
I grab a branch but my horse slips into space,
Neighing, “Hold on, stand firm, you still got a few things left to learn.”

“Man your battle stations, this isn’t a test.”
I’m manning my desk in Missile Defense
I saw an incoming and the screen went black
Explode, reload, attack, thick smoke, hull’s cracked
Captain says “Hold on, stand firm, you still got a few things left to learn.”

Leaves begin to freeze, the sun’s going down
I never really did like this town
It’s plain to see it didn’t need me I’m taking a rest and heading out west
The angels say “Hold on, stand firm, you still got a few things left to learn.”

I’m invested with mechanical dreams
Angel dust and ancient schemes
It wasn’t my choice but then who am I
Just a bad apple in an evil eye
hold on, stand firm, you still got a few things left to learn.
