Billy was 17 mean as hell
Bonnie said she was 30, it was hard to tell
Now Billy met Bonnie on a Saturday night
At the dirt track races, it was love at first sight
Now Bonnie was wilder than the west wind blows
Taught Billy every single thing he knows
But she never told Billy what she left out
The part about the trouble when your times runs out
When the thrill is gone, when your deal goes south
It's all over when your time runs out
Well Bonnie said, "Billy, don't you think it's time
We moved on a little further down the line"
So they knocked off a Texaco south of town
Blew down the highway with the ragtop down
Now Billy woke Bonnie up about first light
Said, "You drive honey, I've been up all night"
Now Billy wasn't sweatin' no APB
'Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to see
He was just 16, made his mama proud
That don't mean nothin' when your time runs out
Now Bonnie kept pushin' that Cadillac
Billy passed out with the seat reared back
Slept through Louisiana, then just past dark
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park
Left Billy sleeping and she called the cops
He never knew nothin' when the dime was dropped
Bonnie knew what she had to do
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue
And the state police rousted Billy out
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out
The sheriff told Billy, "Boy, you're bound to die
'Cause this young lady's gonna testify
That you done took her off against her will
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed"
Now the judge said, "Billy, what you got to say
Before I have the sheriff carry you away?"
Now Billy looked Bonnie right in the eye
But he didn't even have to ask her why
But he turned around as they led him out

when the cat's away, the mice will play beer and drugs and things to say to you, to you lots of girls and lots of boys loud music and all the toys we need, we need
we have to go the neighbors have complained we have to go the walls have all been stained they have to know they cant stop us now they have to know we could burn this town old men and kids on the run missing teeth and now the damage is done, it's all been done losing battles, losing fights the police would love to take away our rights, our rights [chorus]

Papers scattered on the lawn
Weeds where there were none before
The evening light is nearly gone
Yellow tape across the door
Broken china underfoot
Makes an uninviting sound
You see them everywhere you look
Coffee table upside down
It was the last time that
He damned her
That she went looking
For the hammer
And with a fury seldom seen
She hit him with the ballpeen
Blood in patterns on the wall
Down the curtains to the floor
You follow handprints down the hall

There's a picture on the wall
Taken back when I was small
You are standing next to me
I loved you the most of all
We would watch the winters thaw
You would sing and I would draw
animals and things for you
In colors that you never saw
And my Blue Pony's gonna take me for a ride
Down to where we used to go
An I'll see your smile and touch your face
And my heart will overflow
Now the years have washed our times away
Like footprints in the rain
And the house is gone
With the days we shared

The Bala Bay Inn was built in 1910
Not much has changed in this hotel
People still come by to dance, dine and sing
And remember Louis Riel
Rowboats on the water
Wave to the train passing by
Steamships and planes
Will never stop here again
But I hope that I will sometime
Rowboats on the water
Wave to the trains passing by
Steamships and planes
May never stop here again
But I hope that I do sometime
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
You better get your mind right
If you're smokin' that shit
