Lyrics
This tower's tall, my will is strong Right these wrongs where villains don't belong [Pre-Chorus] In every shadow, I anticipate Strategizin' 'gainst this twisted fate Checked my pistol, lined up my sight Ready for the showdown beneath the city light [Verse 1] Got no badge on, but still I take the call Shoeless hero in this Nakatomi hall I dodge the bullets, and I break the locks Playing cowboy in this urban paradox [Pre-Chorus] With every step, the danger's climbing high It's like the wild west, 'neath this city's sky Treading this high-rise, playing my part [Pre-Chorus] Vault locks clicking in a mechanical song One bad break and everything could go wrong I sneak and I crawl, a rat in the walls While outside the world, the night time falls But the show blasts on But the show blasts on [Verse 2] I climb through the vents, grip on my fear Glass shards below, but I persevere I shout to the void, hope Gruber will hear Still the show blasts on [Bridge] I tell all the cops, 'gainst odds I defend Tower tall, in soot and grime, my silent ground Yippie-ki-yay motherfucker, echoes the sound Grab my gun with feet so bare, and face a sneer Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker, Gruber's end is near [Chorus] Through the gunfire and the smoke, I stand alone Yippie-ki-yay motherfucker, this cowboy's far from home Gruber comes in with his cold, steel glare Says 'McClane, do you think that you've got a prayer?' [McClane] I've been bloodied and bruised, but I'm ready to dare Yippie-ki-yay motherfucker, it's more than just air [Gruber & McClane - Dueling Verse] [Gruber] With my plans so precise, you won't stand a chance [McClane] But I'll improvise, in this deadly dance
