lyrics

Ballad Of Moira Mooney

I’ve walked naked and I have walked half dead
A prisoner to all the hatred in my head
I’ve done things that fill my soul with dread
But I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me.

I’ve walked back streets of glassed and broken dreams
Lived in cities so shitty angels screamed
Made grown men cry and made the saints blaspheme
But I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me.

Chorus
I’ve seen the darkest places
I’ve known the brightest hells
Had Jesus and the Devil wish me well
Life was for the losing, I couldn’t seem to care
Moira kept me from drowning in despair.

I’ve been bloody without ever seeing scars
I’ve played the prophet and a clown in all the bars
Sobbed under streetlights whilst heckling the stars
But I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me.

Instrumental.

Chorus

I’ve known years so sparse the Spartans hush
I’ve known nights so low the hookers blush
Had Hades’ hordes come at me in a rush
But I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me
I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me
I’ll walk on while Mooney walks with me.
