You are the dust and, I am the rain, Lets go out in the rust and Let's gather the change Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us You stain the pavements I'll take the blame Our love is our savior Our life is our grave Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us â??Cause we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us We'll live for the sunshine And smile through the rain And we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us So let's take to the streets You and I compete with the freaks And like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us Well there's nothing between us Well there's nothing between us
