[Verse 1] Dust on the visor Red eyes in the dusk Poncho full of holes Boots in the rust Solar panels flicker Like dead cacti bones Bounty droids are barking Over scrap and chrome Servo in the alley Metal feet scrape slow One hand on the holster He says, "I know" [Pre-Chorus] Wind in the broken frame Three counts in the air He never flinches He just stands there Smoke in the dry sky Heat on his face The whole town holds still For the reckoning place [Chorus] One frame smokes One stands (One frame smokes) One stands Three flashes Then sand (Three flashes) Then sand Rusted mesa Take your stand (Rusted mesa) Take your stand [Verse 2] Chrome outlaw grinning Twin suns in his palms Silver on his trigger Cold as a charm They circle the marker Bootprints in the dust Tin hearts and ruin Nothing left to trust A whistle cuts the silence Like a blade through tin The first shot opens And the storm rushes in [Pre-Chorus] Wind in the broken frame Three counts in the air He never flinches He just stands there Steam from the gutters Smoke from the gun The sun goes black And the whole thing runs [Chorus] One frame smokes One stands (One frame smokes) One stands Three flashes Then sand (Three flashes) Then sand Rusted mesa Take your stand (Rusted mesa) Take your stand [Bridge] [Half-time] Clockwork groans Under the skin One last breath And the night begins Red optics shake The chrome goes pale Dust on the floor Like a buried trail [Final Chorus] One frame smokes One stands (One frame smokes) One stands Three flashes Then sand (Three flashes) Then sand Rusted mesa Take your stand (Rusted mesa) Take your stand One frame smokes One stands One frame smokes One stands
