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 and 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 and Clyde Barrow

passion levels all that it encounters

like a drug, it needs no rhyme or reason

blood was spilt and lives were torn asunder

Clyde and Bonnie filled the land with wonder

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

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 and Bonnie Parker

the thrill is gone and panic takes its place

hope is growing dimmer by the hour

flashes of light against the black

carefully take aim and then attack-tack-tack

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 and Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
