sure I like the lakes really beautiful
in the spring with all the trees glowing
with color I thought you were the one
who didn't like it
I only say those kind of things when
Michelle's around because she's always
complaining instead of thanking God for
the day she met Fred he really saved her
life
saved her life Wow well he didn't
exactly save her life but she was pretty
down when he took her in but how I mean
what was she doing three of you none of
my business

wire heats up boom this little fellow
goes off and the driver goes up we'll go
along behind and pick up the jewels

you me and a vanity
the police are gonna find out they made
a mistake they'll come back and not just

meant anything at all in order to leave
and the minute she actually got away
she'd be that's frightened there's a
kidnapped three-year-old listen I've got

you don't like Canada very much do you
sure I like the lakes really beautiful
in the spring with all the trees glowing
with color I thought you were the one
who didn't like it
I only say those kind of things when
Michelle's around because she's always
complaining instead of thanking God for
the day she met Fred he really saved her
life
saved her life Wow well he didn't
exactly save her life but she was pretty
down when he took her in but how I mean
what was she doing three of you none of
my business
he'll get about a mile then when this
wire heats up boom this little fellow
goes off and the driver goes up we'll go
along behind and pick up the jewels
bingo it's a new life sweetheart simple
you me and a vanity
the police are gonna find out they made
a mistake they'll come back and not just
the two of the rider yeah what about the
other guy
if the jewels really are here he'll
probably show up to the dangers of shell
the cops come to move Uzi
don't worry about it I'll clean it up
Michelle no one else could have taken
them Floy if I had stolen their tears
why would I wait here
Canada's a big place and you could never
find me

paradise for me peace quiet the nicest
place I ever lived but I thought you
were a princess in exile
paradise is boring

are they you hand them over then we'll
see mission Oh Misha hey Josh I brought
your beer jock

ride well I came back sober l could
finish the job I paid him a lot of money

car with that hand Jack you kind of
sloppy sir yes I think he might do a
thing like that if he was in hurry oh
you always did you even under truck I
told him to get himself killed like that
but Jack never listened to anyone you

meet you in the garage yeah okay what

have one I told him to try me again this

not emotionally stable enough for the
kind of adventure she thinks she's
looking for
she needs what I can give her I just
want to pay my bill mr. Knowlton

what's real and what's in it I'd say not

manages a bakery in Montreal
my father just put it kindly a bum
Michelle has never been out of Canada

your wife she's Restless very restless
and she's very imaginative it gets her
into quite a bit of trouble I'm afraid
she's really happy yeah even though
she'd never admit it but she didn't
meant anything at all in order to leave
and the minute she actually got away
she'd be that's frightened there's a
kidnapped three-year-old listen I've got
to be out of Canada by tonight you know

her
