I thought it was poor cutting of the song. it seemed awkward. yeah, there was a pause then i was like "What happened?!" LOL
The performance was ok though i really wished they would've fit the whole song in
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...
