(Verse 1)
Bonnie, I heard you stirred up trouble late last night
You were out the door long before they got you in their sights
But if you're not careful Bonnie, someday they'll catch up with you
It's not an easy life being on the run, it's true
They say your devil's smile could kill a man 
Your cigarette is always lit
And the officers tell the press there's a bullet with your name on it

(Pre chorus)
You're running out of time now
There's no one left to blame
I can hear the lawmen calling
They're calling out your name

(Chorus)
There's a darkened sun upon me 
So don't be too late now, Bonnie
There's a pretty little place where your name can be erased
Somewhere to start anew
And you're caught up in the thunder
Right now your days are numbered
So play your final part, tear the stone from your heart so blue
Bonnie there are plans for you 

(Verse 2)
Bonnie, lay down your guns before you go too far
An icy blooded killer isn't what you really are
From the way that they portray you in the reels and magazines
Anyone would think that you belong on movie screens
They say your devil's smile could kill a man
Your cigarette is always lit
And the officers tell the press there's a bullet with your name on it

(Pre chorus)
And you're running out of time now
There's no one left to blame
I can hear the lawmen calling
They're calling out your name 

(Chorus)
There's a darkened sun upon me 
So don't be too late now, Bonnie
There's a pretty little place where your name can be erased
Somewhere to start anew
And you are caught up in the thunder
Right now your days are numbered
So play your final part, tear the stone from your heart so blue
Bonnie there are plans for you 

(Verse 3)
Bonnie, the life you lead is wearing you away
Leave this town tonight and you might live another day
It's no place for fallen angels
There's no time to make amends
So hit the road now Bonnie
And don't come back again 

(Chorus)
There's a darkened sun upon me 
So don't be too late now, Bonnie
There's a pretty little place where your name can be erased
Somewhere to start anew
And you are caught up in the thunder
Right now your days are numbered
So play your final part, tear the stone from your heart so blue
Play your final part, tear the stone from your heart so blue
Bonnie there are plans for you

The Circle Is Closed

By John Clayton

Often in our individual lives and in society we are presented with similar opportunities or situations that allow us the opportunity to make different choices and to change ourselves and the direction our lives take. This song explores how we can "complete" some of our own personal situations and how society could do the same. We are presented with these similar scenarios to give us the opportunity to make new and beneficial choices...we simply need the courage to do so.
