red baron (of arizona) - bryan scary lyrics

Loading...

“baron” you were
back before we put the knife in
daily galloping your cause around
manufactured to the hyphen

you made your claims
ran your across our cities
making enemies and breaking hearts
with your wife and your committee

oh, was it all necessary?
oh, give it back, red baron!

living a dream
she was manicured in rubies
and he used her as the “baroness”
in the gospel he was proving

and on a roll
you were polishing pretenses
while the rest of us were panicking
in the ruins of our defenses

and oh, was it all necessary?
oh, give it back, red baron!
oh, was it necessary? necessary
oh, give it back, red baron

we sicced a man upon him
practiced in forgery
who made a living out of hidden aces
he battled through the papers
and found the missing ink
to wipe the fables off the baron’s faces

“baron, i think that i’ve made up my mind
you’re not the man you’ve been playing
see, the shade is not the same
you’ve written in your name
you’d better start praying it’s all a game
’cause i’m gonna put you in the fire!

i’ve been hired
by the miners
whom you rag upon

put your lands up
the game is over
give it back to arizona!”

and so the knives were brandished
the cat escaped the bag
and everybody formed a line around him
they got him on the platform
and raised the banner flag
when from the parlor came a voice resounding

“stop what you’re doing, can this be for real?
the baron is n-body’s puppet!
and if he’s only fantasy
then what to do with me?
maybe i’m just an accessory?
i won’t be made a method actor!”

no one backed her
she went scrambling
for obscurity

never shedding
her persona
“the baroness of arizona”

then in the air above them
their man began to weep
they left him praying and the sky was pouring
and so it all receded
back into history
the tables turning and the engines roaring

where do they go
all our misbegotten grifters?
will they ever find themselves again
after all the veils are lifted?

the baron, we’re told
tried his hand at irrigation
but eventually he met his end
in the shadows of a nation

and i ask you now:

oh, was it all necessary?
oh, give it back, red baron
oh, was it necessary? necessary
please, give it back, red baron
give it back, man

oh, necessary
necessary
give it back, red baron
oh, necessary
necessary
give it back
give it back, red baron

oh, necessary
necessary
give it back, red baron
oh, necessary
necessary
ooh

oh, necessary
necessary
