...as she guns Mike down, she is bitten by a rattlesnake, and dies. Why, you ask, because people who go around shooting people deserve to be bitten by Rattlesnakes.
lyrics
The Bounty Hunter Assassin
Well, there was a man named Michael who rode a motorcycle
Michael knew no fear for he was a cavalier
And, along the dried up gulch the rattlesnakes they did the shakes
But Mike just rode his bike and kept his cool, he's no fool
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling
So, Michael was a wanted man who roamed alone in the wasteland
A handsome price was on his head, paid to the one who shot him dead
And, though used to bounty hunters, Isabelle was on his trail
And, when it came to tracking down Isabelle had never failed
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling
A showdown had begun, Isabelle was first to draw her gun
But as she shot Mike down a snake had left marks of its own
The closest help was too far off, and, as she drew her final breath
Isabelle realized pursuing Mike brought only death
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing
I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know
He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling
