The Purple Pas De Deux

If Bonnie Parker had not met Clyde, what would the story be then
If Doctor Jekyll had never found Hyde, but stayed two different men
For a flash in time, it's a love sublime, no reason for fear
Then the plot unwinds and soon they'll find
it's going to end in tears

That devil lurks inside us all, he'll make your mind a blur
Give him half a chance and he'll make you dance
The purple pas de deux

A lover takes a soothing hand on a peaceful sunny day
Then circumstance, on a course unplanned, steers them a different way
For if Ruth Ellis had another for a lover, they'd both be dancing still
One chance meeting in a moment fleeting, was enough to change their will

Two lost souls in a passion play, give their lives a stir
They'll be up and away when the music plays
The purple pas de deux

And when a chemical reaction hits two innocents at play
Then a fatal attraction is sure to win the day
When a shot in the dark turns a harmelss lark from joy to pain to strife
From a quick glad-eye to a banshee cry and you're fighting for your life

From frantic friends through romantic love to fanatical saboteur
It's a nightmare roller coaster ride, your mind is in a whirl
Up and down when you hear the sound
Take the floor with a frightening roar
Just me and you and a dance or two
The Purple Pas de Deux
