Lyrics

Close your eyes and then open them baby
See the world for what it's become
Everything around us has dissipated
Grab the keys honey i think where done

Faster now we gotta keep moving
Find a better place to hide
Living under different rulings
When your Bonnie meets my Clyde

Mixing up a bespoke potion? maybe
A one that puts us beyond laws
Of everyday normal behaviour
Opening and closing all the same old doors

Throw our clothes into the ocean
Deviating destiny
No need for a sense of proportion
When my Clyde meets your Bonnie

Give me a time and a destination
A place so far out you can't see
I feel this force of nature
As it shudders through the trees

There's money under the dashboard
Where pulling into the next town
But not for long 'cause their on our tail
We can't afford to, hang around

This kind of life takes devotion
Dedication to a fantasy
But we don't have to comply to there notion
What will be, does not have to be

Give me a time and a destination
A place so far out you can't see
I feel this force of nature
As it shudders on through me

Take a chance on emancipation
It's time to start picking sides
No need for a sense of proportion
You're Bonnie
I'm Clyde

Groovy tune. The vocal distortion is quite effective. The keyboard effects are rad. The bass reminds me of the Stranglers. Inventive guitar tones and playing. Love the Ultravox stylized synth pads and the twangy guitar bits that intersect with the fuzzy bits. Catchy chorus that delivers the goods. Retro but there are sounds and timbres I can't easily identify, which is good. Bravissimo!

Interesting instrumental intro - love the bass dropping in...Vox thru harmonica mic? nice interesting approach and groove. Drums cool entry - liking the arrangement already - extra juicy builds - not the norm and other worldly - oooh I am on a journey - thank you for my mid morning listen! - I dig this song entirely. WOw on the fade out..............
