Deadman - The Pale Rider lyrics

William was a gun fighter, he was waiting for his chance Waiting for his time to come, when he could make his name Riding into town with a look upon his brow Like he's going to take from you or going to take you out Phoenix was an Indian who had a knack for robbing banks In the mesas of New Mexico is where they made their plans To rob the Denver bank and to leave no one alive And with their plans they rode northeast, their fingers on their guns Looking for an angel or the pale rider to come Looking for an angel or the pale rider to come There back in Santa Fe where you will find my love A Spanish maid named Usabelle with skin like holy dove And if this plan goes bad and I should meet my end You send her back to Texas and make sure to treat her well Connor was a law man, he protects the Denver bank He vowed to catch the riders, he vowed to see them hanged He told his men, "Be ready and when you see the riders come You put a bullet between their eyes", and the pale rider he comes A bullet between their eyes and the pale rider he comes On the Denver horizon, that's where it all went down Getting into focus as the dust settled down Connor had the street staked out and ready for the draw And the tension mounted in the heat of it all Connor said, "Don't worry, I'm scared to d**h myself When I look into his eyes I see a demon straight from hell Coming straight for me, coming for the k**" That's when the shots were fired, bang and it was done All were looking for an angel when the pale rider he comes Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes Looking for an angel and the pale rider he comes
