Lyrics Partners in Crime - Set It Off

Partners in Crime

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of arts
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty,
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
This the tale of reckless love
Living a life of crime on the run
A brush to a gun
To paint these states green and red
Everybody freeze
Nobody move
Put the money in the bag
Or we will shoot
Empty out the vault
And me and my doll will be on our way
Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat
Comes close enough to burn
Then we'll play with fire 'cause
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of arts
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty,
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
Here we find our omnipotent outlaws
Fall behind the grind tonight
Left unaware that the lone store owner
Won't go down without a fight
Where we gonna go?
He's got us pinned
Baby I'm a little scared
Now don't you quit
He's sounded the alarm
I hear the sirens closing in
Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat
Comes close enough to burn
Then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause...
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of arts
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty,
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
(Police department!
Come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded.
Put your weapons down, put your weapons down!
Ready, men?
Aim... Fire!)
The skies are black with lead-filled rain,
A morbid painting on display,
This is the night the young love died,
Buried at each others' side
You never took us alive
We swore that death would do us part
So now we haunt you in the dark,
You never took us alive,
We live as ghosts among these streets,
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
