Q: It always happens?

A: Instead of always watching out.”

“You can't start a fire, sitting 'round crying over a broken heart.
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling apart.
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.”

Where the will triumphed let there be no will,
What light revealed, now let the dark fulfill.”
