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
