lyrics

Take your shoes and put them by the fire -
Here's a little tale my love, a man I did admire
(So long ago). My greatest enemy!
An outlaw is a rover and a rover's meant to be
freer than the birds above, the wind my love...
And me? Would I waste all my time? Or lose my mind?
The outlaw wasn't made to follow into tomorrow
I chased him through every crooked town
Waiting at the gates my love, reaching for a sound
He played me like a fool, but I was smart!
I kept an onyx bible in the space next to my heart
Then he led me through the rain and down the drain
And our little dance on the range? It was very strange
Riding out another sunset, always one step away
And The Faintless Moody Outlaw...
I let you get away
The Faintless Moody Outlaw
I wonder where are you today?
Well if I need you
I know just where I'll meet you
You better stay up all night
Hold tight
I swear I will defeat you!
And so the years went spiraling away
I lost myself in family, reeling back the days
But even so I couldn't shake him loose -
Uncertain whether he'd turn up and cook another goose
I saw him in the faces of the ones I loved
And who could imagine the play would turn this way?
Does a shadow last forever, or does it just go away?
And The Faintless Moody Outlaw -
The game is at an end
The Faintless Moody Outlaw -
Oh, my enemy, my friend
For soon I'll find you
I'm coming up behind you
So knees down and pray
Have faith
It's all you've left to guide you!

He grew up in the slums
Then moved out West
To follow every hollow that could get him off the best
Sucking on a dream:
A lonely dream.
Our dreams have silver linings but his was green
The sign said "Banco Libre" so he did -
Freed a hundred thousand of the dollars that it hid
And then he rode into the Rio Grande
To make a stand he offered up his arms but we were duped
He showered us with lead my love when up above
The sky began to thunder -
He escaped by going under
Now it's just a tale we tell each other
And so I'm on my way...

supported by 34 fans who also own “Faintless Moody: Outlaw”

Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
