James Iha, Kazu Makino - The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde lyrics
[James Iha, Kazu Makino - The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde lyrics]
You’ve all read the story of Jesse James
How he lived, how he died
Gave you a kick huh you’re kickin’ for more
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
So get this, Clyde got himself a girl
She’s beautiful and her name is Bonnie
They formed a gang of two as much as we know
Their names, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
When I first met Clyde, I can remember
Strictly on the level, loved me tender
I suppose society’s to blame
Never had the chance to make a good name
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Everything’s been written black and white
They say we kill for pleasure
Gun to jack knife
It’s only when the teller takes to screamin’
A trigger happy smile gets
Pulled with meaning
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Everytime a copper stops a bullet
A store gets done
They’re sure to say we pulled it
The headlines always read the morning after
Murder signed - Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
No use dreaming what life
Could have been like
A nine to five day job as clean as snow white
Within three days comes the sound tac tac tac
Of machine guns coming back
To attack tack tack
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Takin’ in first prize, lucky couple
All they had to do was die in double
The cops were garne
The Barrows went down fighting
That autumn day
Green leaves fell like lightning
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
One of these days, together, six feet under
They’I I lay us down, in unmarked graves
I wonder who’I I give a damn
Who’I I want to know tomorrow
Who was Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
How he lived, how he died
Gave you a kick huh you’re kickin’ for more
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
So get this, Clyde got himself a girl
She’s beautiful and her name is Bonnie
They formed a gang of two as much as we know
Their names, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
When I first met Clyde, I can remember
Strictly on the level, loved me tender
I suppose society’s to blame
Never had the chance to make a good name
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Everything’s been written black and white
They say we kill for pleasure
Gun to jack knife
It’s only when the teller takes to screamin’
A trigger happy smile gets
Pulled with meaning
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Everytime a copper stops a bullet
A store gets done
They’re sure to say we pulled it
The headlines always read the morning after
Murder signed - Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
No use dreaming what life
Could have been like
A nine to five day job as clean as snow white
Within three days comes the sound tac tac tac
Of machine guns coming back
To attack tack tack
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Takin’ in first prize, lucky couple
All they had to do was die in double
The cops were garne
The Barrows went down fighting
That autumn day
Green leaves fell like lightning
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
One of these days, together, six feet under
They’I I lay us down, in unmarked graves
I wonder who’I I give a damn
Who’I I want to know tomorrow
Who was Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
