It was the best of times and worst of crimes
you struck a match and blew my mind
but just a show, you wanted to leave him
I'd be your reason
from that first drink I knew we were cursed
I don't remember where it all began
it moved so fast we just ran
you were driving the getaway car
we were flying but we'd never get far
You made the great escape your prison break
but you weren't thinking and we were drinking
well he was running after you and I just heard "go!go!go"
but a circus ins't a love story
like jet-set Bonnie and Clyde it's no surprise I'd turn you in
I'm in the getaway car left you at the motel bar
put the money in a bag and took the keys
that was the last you every saw of me
I'm driving the getaway car I was flying
don't pretend this is a mystery
think about where you first took me
I was riding in a getaway car
I was crying in a getaway car
I was dying in a getaway car
I said goodby in a getaway car
