A Duel Will Settle This Lyrics

Turn it up (x8)

Give me one time (Turn it up (x4))
I didn't think twice (Turn it up (x4))
It's fair that you know (Turn it up (x4))
It's alright that I doubt (Turn it up (x4))

I'd rather not say
I'm so duly impressed
I'd rather not say

Decisions for the whole (Turn it up (x4))
A reading and response (Turn it up (x4))
Parables that act out (Turn it up (x4))
I'm so duly impressed
Those books are thrown out
I doubt it

I'd rather not say
We're heading for digress
I'd rather not say

[Chorus]
It's not because of luck
And if you say it again it adds to luck
(Getting me to suggest this)
I'll take it on the wrist
And smile my way to the door on the way out
(Gathering and existing)
Bury your words
They're better unsaid
It's nice that you'll wait
I'm so duly impressed
It's so soft that you don't (You doted)

[Chorus]

You make the difference who comes out alive
You like to turn it around
Who do you know that's better than that? (Could I bet on it?)
I'd like to take a look around so butt out, butt out
I'll try it like this and wait it all out (Could I bet on it?)
I'd like to try my own true hand so butt out, butt out

Your life's the difference who comes out alive
You always turn it around
Who do you know that's better than that? (Could I bet on it?)
I'd like to take a look around so butt out, butt out
I'll try it like this and wait it all out (Could I bet on it?)
I'd like to try my own true hand so butt out, butt out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
