Lyrics for Hang 'Em High as interpreted by FAToAshes

Hang 'Em High Lyrics
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well I've got something to say

Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades

Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on

After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her Black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain

Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while i'm holding on
But don't stop if i fall
And don't look back
Don't stop
Bury me and fade to black

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door

She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So baby...

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me
And fade to black

Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me
And fade to black

ok maybe im off here but going by the concept, i think that the girl (not him!) died in demolition lovers. and demolition lovers is from his perspective. and i think this song is the same scene from her perspective.
anyone agree?????

This song is about lovers who are going after the bad guys and the girl is asking the guy if he would die for her and if he would lie to her.While they're fighting the bad guys, hes telling her that if he falls and dies to go on and dont look back.

I think that the song has a sort of Bonnie and Clyde thing going on. Bonnie and Clyde was about a couple who robbed banks together. He was the shooter and shea was the driver of the get away car. That was always the mental image I got; Gerard and some girl robbing a bank and him telling her to get away even if he is hurt. It's kind of a twisted love song.

What's with the riffs during "she won't stop me put it down?"
I don't think anyone will answer. Hee hee. Oh well.

I LOVE this song!. It's my ringtone, LMFAO. It goes off and everyone's just like looking at me like "What's up with that girl's ringtone?" Ha ha.
I love the intro and the chorus - BEST CHORUS EVER!

When I listen to this song, I imagine Gerard and his girl dressed up as cowpeople walking through town, then suddenly these people pop up and start shooting and everything and Gerard and his girl are like back to back and shooting... It's pretty cool. And then Gerard gets shot and falls to the ground. Then he starts, like, screaming at her, "Don't stop if I fall and don't turn back. Oh, baby..." So then the girl runs away and Gerard's like crawling on the ground, still singing (ha ha), and someone kicks him and he looks up and theres this person with a gun pointing it straight at his face.
Yeah, pretty sad.
