Bonnie And Clyde

Shot down in Louisiana We locked eyes in a house of friends I said “Hey Bonnie my name’s Clyde” And felt a violent sudden change of tide Love was bold, love was new From the dust me and you Who’d have known that we’d echo through time? I bear witness to a criminal mind Who loves me one day easily and then I’m left behind Or am I victim to my cynical mind It twists the words you say to me And then I’m left behind with Time will have its way with you, will have its way with you There’s not much we can do There’s not much we can do You wrote beautiful poems predicting a doomed love story Took joke photographs dressed up living gangster lives The headlines wrote a version of us suddenly we’re famous Got blown up then blown away and mythologised They got us right, got us wrong Life of crime, dying young But by your side’s how it feels to belong… I bear witness to a criminal mind Who loves me one day easily and then I’m left behind Or am I victim to my cynical mind It twists the words you say to me And then I’m left behind with Time will have its way with you, will have its way with you There’s not much we can do There’s not much we can do Baby we were doomed Hey! Ooh criminal mind Not much we can do Ooh criminal mind Not much we can do Ooh criminal mind Baby we were doomed Ooh criminal mind I bear witness to a criminal mind Who loves me one day easily and then I’m left behind Or am I victim to my cynical mind That twists the words you say to me And then I’m left behind with Time will have its way with you, will have its way with you There’s not much we can do There’s not much we can do Ooh criminal mind Not much we can do Ooh criminal mind
