lyrics

We were Clyde and Bonnie
We gambled what was green
We lived to fill the papers and empty magazines
We took our chances
We ran in style
We built the tallest house of cards that didn’t fall for a while

We were Dixon and Mason
We charted by the stars
Closing in our wilderness at the corner bar
Over the Alleghenies
We were only kids
We built a straight and narrow trail that didn’t turn until it did

If you’re gonna fall, fall in style

We were Fred and Ginger
We were twirling in a trance
Levitating slowly just by happenstance
High above the buildings
We took a bow
When gravity presents itself you have to land somehow

If ever there’s a reckoning
I’ll take it on the chin
If somewhere there’s a ledger book of our love and our sins
Let them say we doubled down
We slid the whole pile
We built the tallest house of cards that didn’t fall for a while

If you’re gonna fall,
If you’re gonna fall, fall in style
Leave it on the ground a while
