Adam Lambert - Outlaws of Love on Album #2

Adam's second album (title unknown) will be out in November, probably. Last night, at a concert in MontrealSte. Agathe, Quebec, he debuted a song, Outlaws of Love, from the new album. Video is courtesy of a fan.

The lyrics are sort of stunning to me. He's gone two years trying to avoid being a mascot for gay rights. In interviews after his Idol season, he specifically described not wanting to be an activist; he just wanted to be a singer. In more recent interviews, he's expressed ambivalence. This song, written by Adam, addresses the political issue of gay marriage, while being intensely personal. Lyrics below.



Lyrics:

Oh, nowhere left to go
Are we getting closer, closer?
No, all we know is no,
Nights are getting colder, colder.

Hey, tears all fall the same,
We all feel the rain,
We can't change.

Everywhere we go, we're lookin for the sun,
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run.
They say we'll rot in hell, but I don't think we will
They’ve branded us enough, outlaws of love.

Scars make us who we are,
Hearts and homes are broken, broken
Far, we could go so far,
With our minds wide open, open

Hey, tears all fall the same,
We all feel the rain,
We can't change.

And everywhere we go, we're lookin for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run.
They say we'll rot in hell, but I don't think we will.
They’ve branded us enough, outlaws of love.

Everywhere we go, we're looking for the sun.
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run.
They say we'll rot in hell, but I don't think we will.
They’ve branded us enough, outlaws of love.
Outlaws of love.
Outlaws of love.
Outlaws of love.
Outlaws of love.
