[ The Walkabouts ]

ノ

Everybody’s talking about Jesse James
The way he lived and the way he died
But in love, even crime can draw a tighter bind
This is the story of Bonnie & Clyde

In his life, Clyde dreamed of the perfect lover
Until one day his prayers came true
Drawn together like a bow and arrow
Enter Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow

Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde

Passion levels all that it encounters
Like a drug, it needs no rhyme or reason
Blood was spilt and lives were torn asunder
Clyde & Bonnie filled the land with wonder

Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde

Fantasies of years they’d spend together
Shattered by a politician’s pledge
Always one step before the gallows
A lust for crime that wouldn’t let them rest

Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde

Headlines scream
POLICEMAN DEAD IN DALLAS
The long arm of the law was not amused
Brighter shades of love were turning darker
Curtains for Barrow & Bonnie Parker

Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde

The final flickers of a dangerous life
Clyde sees the blood run from his dying wife
Bonnie breathes her last breath in despair
A vision of the corpse of Clyde Barrow

They laid them in the ground before the morning came
To stay together till the end of time
No coffin, no headstone and no marker
The end for Barrow & Bonnie Parker

Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde
Bonnie & Clyde, Bonnie & Clyde
