Movin In for the Kill
A hundred miles to go
Driving the sheep down the line
Trailing the Tickaboo Valley
North of the Lincoln Mine
Heading for Utah
Traveling six miles a day
Black sage and saltbrush
Grazin' each step of the way

The night was quiet
Except for the bells of the sheep
Before the break of the light
Everyone is asleep
Inside the caravan
The wood stove took off the chill
Outside, the false sunrise
Moved in for the kill

Moved in for the kill
(Movin' in for the kill)
They do just what they want
They do just what they will
Movin' in for the kill
Two frightened shepherds
Two thousand scared Rambouillet
Red-hot and running
Hustlin' to herd up the strays
Racin' the rumblin' clouds
Through the red, swirling sky
Never knowing that days from now
All the sheep would die

Shot number two
Part of the Upshot-Knothole
They called the bomb Nancy
And it sure took its toll
A handful of madmen
With a scientist's skill
Broke into the atom
And moved in for the kill

Moved in for the kill
(Movin' in for the kill)
They do just what they want
They do just what they will
Movin' in for the kill

Servants of God and the Nuclear Age
Sacrificing the lamb for the history page
Denying the damage they've left in their wake
How many deaths will it finally take?
Moved in for the kill
(Movin' in for the kill)
They do just what they want
They do just what they will
Movin' in for the kill

(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill
(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill

(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill
(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill

(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill
(Moved in for the kill)
Movin' in for the kill
