lyrics

Near the western side of the Mississippi
In the time of the 19th century
Was a large territory with fertile land
Suitable for livestock farming
The story tells about some forgotten cowboys
Who could tame the wild horses
And they chased after evil bandits

That's the life in the wild wild west
The hunter catches the outlaw
And he tries to escape death
But sooner as he guessed
His head is in the hangman's noose

They bore the names Sundance Kid, Cole Younger,
Frank & Jesse James, Billy The Kid
Still the most legendary gunfighter of the wild west
An unfearing, angry young man
At least he had the death of four men on his conscience
He lived a short and dangerous life
He died at 22, killed in an ambush

That's the life in the wild wild west
The hunter catches the outlaw
And he tries to escape death
But sooner as he guessed
His head is in the hangman's noose
That's the life in the wild west
For whom the bell tolls
Don't need to beg for mercy
And all that is left
Is the final request

The life in the wild west
The hunter catch the outlaw
And he tries to escape death
But sooner as he guessed
His head is in the hangman's noose
That's the life in the wild wild west
The hunter catch the outlaw
And he tries to escape death
(For whom the bell tolls)
(Don't need to beg for mercy)
And all that is left
Is the final request

All that remains of the wild west heroes
Is good for the scripts of Tarantino
More than names on a piece of paper
Just history...
