POLICE - Murder By Numbers lyrics

rate me

Once that you've decided on a killing<br>First you make a stone of your heart<br>And if you find that your hands are still willing<br>Then you can turn a murder into art<br><br>There really isn't need for bloodshed<br>You just do it with a little more finesse<br>If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee<br>Then it avoids an awful lot of mess<br><br>It's murder by numbers one two three<br>It's as easy to learn as your abc<br><br>Now if you have a taste for this experience<br>And you're flushed with your very first success<br>Then you must try a twosome or a threesome<br>And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less<br><br>Because murder is like anything you take to<br>It's a habit-forming need for more and more<br>You can bump off every member of your family<br>And anybody else you find a bore<br><br>Because it's murder by numbers one two three<br>It's as easy to learn as your abc<br><br>Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious<br>In history's great dark hall of fame<br>All our famous killers were industrious<br>At least the ones that we all know by name<br><br>But you can reach the top of your profession<br>If you become the leader of the land<br>For murder is the sport of the elected<br>And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
