originally recorded as "Bidi Bidi Bidi Bidi" in 2009, rewritten in 2010

so I watched Bonnie and Clyde

ye

lyrics

79.

Stuck in a rut, nowhere to go
talent rejected by the masses
she preps for what job they gave her
just another day

he comes around to steal a car
but ends up asking her on a date
it culminates in a humbling of their souls
now destined to be some Sherwood bandits

just another sore in the sky
just another mass grave for the villains
just another shot in the eye
just another good-hearted problem

bidi bidi bidi bidi - let it go
let it be given to someone worthy
fallin' over, fallin' over - hold on to it
keep it for the future lives in the world

roam through the forest to reclaim the wealth
the storms and the crash swindled away
another coyote to shoot, another soul to kick
the boys can't help to use a bit of death

just another sore in the sky
just another mass grave for the villains
just another shot in the eye
just another good-hearted problem

bidi bidi bidi bidi - let it go
let it be given to someone worthy
fallin' over, fallin' over - hold on to it
keep it for the future lives in the world

fate would come to the Army
one summer's eve in 1934
in the midst of Lisztomania
they fell down to the ground

one had a deal to live or to die
took the life and gave up the fame
isolated road, red on the dirt
life running slow from their pores

just another sore in the sky
just another mass grave for the villains
just another shot in the eye
just another good-hearted problem

bidi bidi bidi bidi - let it go
let it be given to someone worthy
fallin' over, fallin' over - hold on to it
keep it for the future lives in the world
