Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Western movie!
[Verse 2]
The riders ride into the night
Into the West to see whose gun's the best
They're all fools to live by rules
The rider wearing black
Know he's gonna shoot you in the back
[Verse 3]
The horseman turns, the wound that burns
The awful pain, the crimson rain
He got to realise, before he dies
The rider wearing black
Know he's gonna, gonna shoot you in the back
[Verse 4]
It's suicide to live on pride
You claim your own, your skin, your bone
Your own life cuts you like a knife
The rider wearing black
He's gonna, he's gonna shoot you in the back
In the Western movie
Written by: "Fast" Eddie Clarke, Ian Kilmister, Phil Taylor
