The Decemberists - The Perfect Crime No.1 lyrics

rate me

Two, three, four!

I got a gun, I got a girl

I got a bullet-proof plan to pull

The perfect crime

I got the perfect crime

I got a warehouse down at the docks

I got fifteen precincts of cops bought

The perfect crime

I got the perfect crime

You got to get your clock locked

Get your stopwatch synchronized

You got to get it so you can't put a pin through your alibi

To pull the perfect crime

To pull the perfect crime

Bu-bu-bu bah

I got a guy bought on the inside

I got a night guard gagged and hog-tied

The perfect crime

This is the perfect crime

I got a brain, I got the brawn

I got all the proper papers for the gendarme

The perfect crime

C'est ca the perfect crime

I got the mob boss bought

I got a letter from the DEA

I got a mockup of the lockup

Where they stock up all their fucking change

To pull this perfect crime

This is the perfect crime

Bu-bu-bu bah

We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm

Because the dock side specs have been tipped off in time

To this perfect crime

Call out the dogs, call out the cops

We caught the deputy officer

Cold-cock or we'll do time

For this perfect crime

So we ran around town with the cops stepping on our tails

Because we'd rather break depth then a French fuck in county jail

Just for the perfect crime

For the perfect crime

This is the perfect crime
