Bill and Bonnie Crane

Did so much uncut cocaine

They put the light out in their brains

Where the purgatory flows

On the great American plains

Of Colorado

Bill and Bonnie Crane

Went for ice instead of fire

And they called the man a liar

Yeah, the Mexican supplier

When he warned them fire and snow were all the same

Colorado

Atomic annihiliation lays you low as lead

Complete extermination like the ovens

where their mamas and their daddies went to join the other dead

So they put the pilot light out in their head

And they traded up the oven for a freezer like I said

And they burned the white instead of holocaustic red

In Colorado

Bill and Bonnie Crane

Did a few too many grains

Now a vision haunts the plains

It's the beacon of their brains

In Colorado

Yeah they took too many grains

But their pilot light remains

Abandoned, with the purple torrid flames

On the great American plains

Of Colorado
