The Outlaw Torn

An epic closer from *Load*, 1996

And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you
I search the outside, search inside for you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one who seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

Chorus

Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
And I'm torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you

The more I search, the more my need for you
The more I bless, the more I bleed for you
You make me smash the clock and feel I'd rather die behind the wheel

Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime

Chorus

Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
And I'm torn

Verse 3

Time has torn the flesh away
The early morning's dew has left you dry
In your search for life you nearly leave yours behind

Time has torn the flesh away
The early morning's dew has left you dry
In your search for life you nearly leave yours behind

Outro

Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
And I'm torn
