Jesus & The Outlaw

(album: Distant Rumble - 2013)

No one will ever see us
We're like two burglars in the night
We'll be the Jesus and The Outlaw
I wear black, you wear white
I will always stand beside you
I will guard you with my life
We're like those robbers from the thirties
You're the Bonnie, I'm the Clyde

We'll be cruising in the moonlight
We'll be dancing on a wire
We'll be hanging with the famous
And they keep wondering who we are
And the rich, they won't forget us
Just because we let them see
Without their gold and money
How pathetic they would be

I could be Batman, you'd be Robin
We'd be flying through the night
'Cause the world is full of jokers
Who won't give up without a fight
But our strength grows with the hour
And they are asking for the sign
Cause we're fed up with the evilness
That makes this city cry

And when we're flying with the angels
We'll be laughing about this life
We were the Jesus and The Outlaw
I wore black, you wore white

If we were Jedi, who is Vader
Politicians with dark sides?
Or businessmen with red lightsabers
Who can burn Wall Street tonight
Or maybe an army of white bankers
Who can and will destroy our lives
I hope the force is with us
Against the men who can't decide

And when we're flying with the angels
We'll be laughing about this life
We were the Jesus and The Outlaw
I wore black, you wore white

And when we're flying with the angels
We'll be laughing about this life
We were the Jesus and The Outlaw
I wore black, you wore white
