Showdown

I can see the writing on the wall
When the axe is gonna fall, oh no
And oh how the ages come and go
Is there nothing time has shown
I've gotta know
This world's on fire
With one desire
Lord knows there's a
Showdown comin' round
Runnin' for cover when the trumpets all sound
Yeah, a ghost town's what'll be found
We'd better slow down
Well, I think it's a cryin' shame
When there's no one left to blame
Shame, shame
And oh how the accusations fly
When it's a question of our lives
Of our lives
This world's on fire
With one desire
Showdown comin' round
Runnin' for cover when the trumpets all sound
Yeah, a ghost town's what'll be found
Searchin' for ways to blame it on another
Showdown's makin' it's rounds
Like a thief in the night where will you be found
Ghost town died with a sound
We'd better slow down
