In New York you can be a new man…

Helpless…

(Sure)
One two three four five six seven eight NIIINNNNNEEEEEE…

It's the ten duel commandments.

sirens go off
It's the ten duel commandments!

Number 1

The challenge, demand satisfaction

If they apologize, no need for further action

Number two!

If they don’t, grab a friend, that’s your second

Your lieutenant, when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Number 3!

Have your seconds meet face to face

Negotiate a peace
Or negotiate a time and place

Number 4!

This is commonplace, ‘specially ‘tween recruits
Most disputes die, and no one shoots

Number four!
If they don’t reach a peace, that’s alright
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility
You have him turn around so he can have deniability

Five!

Duel before the sun is in the sky

Pick a place to die where it's high and dry

Number six

Leave a note for your next of kin
Tell ‘em where you been
Pray that hell or heaven lets you in

Seven!

Confess your sins
Ready for the moment of adrenaline
