Picture Show Lyrics - Frank Wildhorn

YOUNG BONNIE: 

I can see me, I can see me 

Living just like Clara 

Sipping champagne, can't you see me 

In the middle of a dance floor 

That could be me, that could be me 

Doing things like Clara 

Flirting madly, looking dreamy 

These are things you take a chance for 

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 

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 

Like Clara... 

YOUNG CLYDE: 

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 weren't a man alive to outdraw him 

No bar room 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 

YOUNG BONNIE: 

I'll be ready, I'll be ready 

When I switch to Clara 

Riding horses, going steady 

With a guy who owns a jazz bar 

YOUNG CLYDE: 

I'm gonna make a whole lot of money 

I won't count cents like my ma and pa 

I will wear Sunday clothes on a Tuesday, someday 

No one will stand in my way 

YOUNG BONNIE: 

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 

BONNIE: 

I can see me, can you see me 

The main attraction at the picture show 

Like Clara Bow 

Like Clara Bow 

The main attraction at the picture show 

YOUNG CLYDE: 

Bang bang, you're dead 

CLYDE: 

Bang bang, you're dead 

Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun 

LAW OFFICER: 

Marvin Ivan Barrow, Clyde Chestnut Barrow, you've been found guilty on one count of burglary, and two counts of auto theft. You're both hereby sentenced to serve two years at the McLennan County Jail. 

CLYDE: 

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 

BONNIE/CLYDE (overlapping): 

It must be great to be called the "it" girl 

That isn't what they're calling me 

But one day soon I bet you they will 

Trust me 

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 

Like Clara Bow 

The main attraction 

Clara Bow 

Capone is more to me than a hero 

I wanna be like him 

I wanna be like Al Capone 

He's my hero 

Al Capone, I wanna be you 

Bang bang 

Bang bang 

Bang bang 

I wanna be like Al Capone
