Butterfly King

Bonnie & Clyde

I met you in the Summer of '53
The air was warm and the sun was bright, just like the straw hat that covered your eyes.
You intrigued me from the first glance, said you were a "different kinda lass".
I didn't know what that meant but I was soon to be informed that you were a criminal.
I became your second in command, your right hand man.
The rush of adrenaline when we committed crimes was worth a thousand lives

I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde.
From the get go we were cursed like the Kennedys, destined to end as a tragedy.
I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde, a darkness that attracted my light.

You kept a pistol in your purse for "protection" against our enemies, when they were the authorities.
Bank robberies were always your favorite event because you always got some money as green as mint.
Things got dangerous for us, the vultures closed in and we couldn't run.
The love we had was treacherous but even in death, it felt so gorgeous.

I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde.
From the get go we were cursed like the Kennedys, destined to end as a tragedy.
I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde, a darkness that attracted my light.

They shot you sixteen times in the head
I screamed and pronounced you dead
Shots fired through the air, I hid behind a spare tyre.
You were on the most wanted list, and I was second on it.
I fled the country without you with me.
I was never caught like you, my fate destined untrue.
Now, I spend my time living life normally, but you always creep into my memory.
Sleep well, Ms. Parker, see you soon I promise.

I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde.
From the get go we were cursed like the Kennedys, destined to end as a tragedy.
I was your partner in crime, you were the Bonnie to my Clyde, a darkness that attracted my light.
