Story behind the song
Story about two bank robbers.
Lyrics
It was 1995 when two pals called Ike and Al
decided to rob the city bank.
They made a plan and thinked it good.
Seemed like too easy to be true.
But shit went wrong when a teller made a move,
sounded the alarm and cops they came.
While Ike took the money and fled through the back,
Al got caught and took the blame.
The court was held and they gave Al 20 years,
but not a word of money or Ike was spoken.
Ike hid the money and kept it low for many years.
Started a new life across the border.
Time went by and Al got out of jail.
Turned to Jesus and quit the booze.
He met a young girl called Joanne.
They fell in love at jail infirmary.
Ike’s living in suburban paradise
With three kids andx lovely wife.
Her name is Alice and she’s a lawyer.
Takes care of Ike and his money.
Ike’s been thinking for Al once in a while,
How to pay back a man for twenty years?
And now that Ike heard Al is back in the street
he made a plan to set things right.
And Ike has been in Al’s mind everyday.
Probably more than you can even think of.
He felt bitterness and hate for his old companion.
But eventually, forgiveness.
Ike offered Al half of his possesion,
which had grown over the years.
But new born man, who’s learned to live with nothing,
may surprise with his own suggestions.
Al told Ike, that the only way
to make up for his crimes, is confession.
And to give back every single cent,
that he’s ever deceived or stolen.
They talked for days and for many nights
’till finally, Ike was convinced.
He made preparations for his family,
But his wife, Alice, couldn’t agree.
Why let a bum like Al to ruin
Her reputation and her wealth?
And when Ike wouldn’t change his mind,
She told them both to go to hell.
Alice made few calls and hired a guy
to stage an accident with Ike’s car.
And soon, Ike and Al were both found dead
from a car at the bottom of a cliff.
Now Alice, she almost got it all
And was about to fled to wonderland.
But Joanne, Al’s favourite girl,
Had a closure of her own.
Although Joanne was is deep in her religion,
She broke at least one of ten commandments.
She strangled Alice with rosary
And took her own life the next day.
And the story ends.
