lyrics
CON ARTIST
Verse 1:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that he’s broke and no good
And they say he’s not one to rely on
I would forget him if I only I could
With a weapon filled with lead
Can’t get him out of my head
Yeah for sure my heart is done
And don’t you dare dally
When you walk down his alley
His next victim you might become
Verse 2:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that he’s sketchy and sly
And they say he’s not one to rely on
But my love I can’t justify
If you want his talents fast
Better pay up front with cash
And hope that you were in line first
Yeah, Despite all conventions
You can see his intentions
And once done, it can’t be reversed
Chorus:
I’m just a Bonnie looking for a Clyde
And I think I’ve finally found one
A partner in crime to have by my side
A quick drawing son of a gun...
Out of all the things to try and find
They say love - love is the hardest
I’m just a Bonnie looking for a Clyde
And I’m falling … falling for a con artist
Verse 3:
There's a man that I got my eye on
Most say that his shade is so cold
And they say he’s not one to rely on
But his hand is what I want to hold
Won’t stop once he starts
And he’ll always leaves his mark
Better hope that you can read his name
And you better play nice
If you haggle his price
Or you’re the next one to be framed.
Chorus (2x - with epic key change)

Awesome track! I also love the "tribute" at the end to that old D&D audio, genius!
