#outlaws
Roses are redoubt Violets are a horn, blue Sugar is sweat, in a dark pout And hell is crying, and so are you... Pain, the magic and the cruel Forever, is a shoe... Live by a creed, and you say hi, to a tool Know a you, for a sweet tooth... Done, to hunt a misery Found in a gutter, no man's Land, has a sick flower of mystery Told to a child's shadow, a risen chance... To become a family's cannibal? Creation, is our view on rage Though put to such, much is beauty Tarry with us, to live without music to face...? Treasure of the ****** Hell to pay, a quiet dowry Of dues and tomorrow, a question to hand You, a seduction's voice, with hunger as its quarry...

Can Mercy, Come From A Savage Least?
A tavern built on misdeeds and insurrection, House of rascals, whisky and imperfection A hideaway for rebels and racketeers, Where drinks are served to outlaws and mutineers, Where the pianist plays for pirates and privateers, Where the wicked and the wayward can be served, And are respected however undeserved. It’s a rag-tag bunch of outlaws and anarchists, A cavalcade of rough revolutionists, So come on in my dear insurrectionist, Welcome to our lawless little band, Welcome to the Tavern of the ****** Come and join our banished battalion, Join our cause, oh revered rapscallion, So calling out to nature’s abominations, We’ve got bourbon, bombshells and indignation, Come and wait for imminent and sure damnation, No matter what your deviance may be, Come and join the drunken reverie. It’s a monument to lost souls and deviants, A shrine to every small disobedience, A riotous, cathartic experience, Where radicals are safe from reprimand, Welcome to the Tavern of the ****** Welcome back, my worshipped renegade, To the place where freedom’s sweet as lemonade, Where skanks and outlaws, sing so intoxicated, The anthem of the unkempt and agitated, The mantra of the evil and of the hated, Laughing as they sing their merry tune, Unified by their impending doom. It’s a testament to chaos and anarchy, A haven for the worst of humanity, A house of lawlessness and profanity, Welcome to our lawless little band, Welcome to the Tavern of the ******

Tavern of the ******
It was a cold winters night Right outside the town of Bridgestone The place was silent except for the old saloon A new face appeared just the other day, he spent most nights in there Some gazed at the fanciness of his clothes Other scorned at the six shooter on his hip I talked with him a little, he told me he was moving on with life, searching for something new and bright He only planned to be here for a few nights, wasn't looking to pick a bone So I gathered supplies, scurried a horse, and made sure he was gone by next afternoon The next day is when the platoon came looking for him, I told them, the man was headed just south of Rabbit's Hair Little did they know the man was traveling north to Letterman's Grove Let this be a lesson kid, I may not have a story to tell, but this rusty old six shooter and gold is a most generous tip.

Help from a Stranger
A virus lives quietly Until one day it appears As suddenly as a madman Raging in the desert In quest of methamphetamine. Or an outlaw on ***** Shooting up streets And striking people down. It has no origin we can see, No place that it calls home, But ravages civilizations And adopts their clothing, Wears their armour And steals their ships, Like the Sea Peoples Of ancient times. Feared even by god-like Pharaohs, The kings of Knossos and The Mycenaean warlords. It attacks the very essence Of its victims, becoming like them. Walking through their streets, Dancing as they do and Welcomed into their houses— Hiding in plain sight. It drifts down as they sleep, And bonds with their cells at night.

. Bonnie & Clyde You held my hart in your hands and my soul in your mouth, we watched the moon slip through the dark knight, A lullaby of blood and sticky labels, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. won't you save me, for I've been running all my life, I've been sinning, I've been stealing and I know that that ain't right, won't you save me, won't you teach me right from wrong, I've been sinning, I've been stealing, please take me home. We sang to the pound of the engine, you lay your head in my lap, so sweet so simple, you toyed with the coins in my pocket, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. won't you save me, for I've been running all my life, I've been sinning, I've been stealing and I know that that ain't right, won't you save me, won't you teach me right from wrong, I've been sinning, I've been stealing, please take me home. We danced to the backdrop of yellow fields, spattered with red confetti, shookhands with the devil, all dressed in rags, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. The devil he has taken me, and I can't run no more, No more sinning or stealing, for now my life is done; you can't save me, You can't teach me right from wrong, No more sinning, No more stealing, For now this soul has gone. Ten cops, camera and a smile, Photo for a trophy, V8 Ford full of holes, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde.

Smoked up a half Others think we’re mad Perfectly complimenting Infectious laugh Overwhelming energy Creating a perfect synergy Twin souls The missing piece Bonnie to my Clyde An atomic release Wreaking havoc On every road we tread Kiss explosive Exuding various shades of red Straight from the bottle Drinking whiskey Lips taste of alcohol and apple Before we go full throttle Getting frisky In the back of a packed bar No thoughts of who can see You put your hands all over me Smoking cigarettes Until our lungs hurt Making bets Behind smirks Knowing we can’t win here Overcoming every fear Of any consequence Or anyone that comes near...

Atomic Passion
As you can see now We've lost two men to Father Time They were your friends As they were mine They both were outlaws and they lived life their own way If we had our choice They'd still be here today But, I am not the one Who took them both away That's all I've got to say They were our brothers And they stood here dressed in black Close your eyes and they are back They're in the ether Waiting there for their return They'll tell us what they saw And then we will all learn That life's a circle And death is no concern When they do return.... We are all highwaymen And we all travel different roads We all bear witness Carry loads We will all pass this way More than once I'm sure There will be other times When we meet at death's door But as for now, I say No more than evermore For we will meet again.... Once there were four of us And the world was our domain We've gone away Come back again We sailed the seven seas And rode the highway roads We flew on starships And we followed our own code We met the horsemen And our souls we did unload And we'll be back again...
