Picture Show

I can see me, I can see me

Livin' just like Clara

Sippin' champagne, can't you see me?

In the middle of the dance floor

I can see you sweepin' the dust off this porch

That could be me, that could be me

Doin' things like Clara

Flirtin' madly, lookin' dreamy

These are things you take a chance for

Says here she dropped out of high school!

It must be great to be called the "It Girl"

Your face on every magazine

That's where I'm gonna end up one day

Trust me

You are not droppin' out of school!

Now, help me get the dust off this porch

It's all just goin' be here again tomorrow

And we'll sweep it away again tomorrow

I wanna be her, I wanna be her

Dressed in style like Clara

I can see me, can you see me?

The main attraction at the picture show

Like Clara Bow

I wanna live the life of an outlaw

I'm gonna be like Billy the Kid

And when the law has got me surrounded

No doubt

I'm gonna shoot my way out

There were no man alive to outdraw him

No barroom bully could stand a chance

He had the looks that everyone goes for

Me too

Billy I want to be you

Bang bang, you're dead

Bang bang, you're dead

Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun

Go help your Pa load the wagon

Why can't we stay Pa?

I don't own the land

And it ain't worth it to them to have me work it no more

You're gonna like West Dallas

It's the Devil's back porch

You watch that mouth of yours!

I didn't give it that name! It's what they call West Dallas

With your father gone, we couldn't afford to stay in Rowena

But why here?

Because Grandma Mary has been nice enough to take us in

God, this place is a shithole

I'll be ready, I'll be ready

When I switch to Clara

Ridin' horses, goin' steady

With a guy who owns a jazz bar

I'm gonna make a whole lot of money

I wont count cents like my Ma and Pa

I will wear Sunday clothes on a Tuesday

Some day

No one will stand in my way

They say when you're a star in the movies

You get to keep the clothes you wear

Big stars make thirty dollars a week

Jesus!

I wanna be her, I wanna be her

Dressed in style like Clara

I can see me, can you see me?

Bang bang, you're dead

Bang bang, you're dead

Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun

Marvin Ivan Barrow, Clyde Chestnut Barrow

You have been found guilty

You are both hereby sentenced to two years at the McLennan County Jail

I'm gonna be the guy kids look up to

They'll cut their hair the way I cut mine

Capone was just like me when he started - some guy

He made it big, and so will I

It must be great to be called the "It Girl"

That isn't what they're calling me (Capone is more to be than a hero)

But one day soon, I bet you they will, trust me (I wanna be like him)

I wanna be her, I wanna be her (I wanna be like Al Capone)

Dressed in style like Clara (He's my hero)

I can see me, can you see me? (Al Capone I wanna be you)

Bang bang!
