The Perfect Crime #2 (The Perfect Crime #2.5.1) |
Sing, Muse, of the passion of the pistol |
Sing, Muse, of the warning by the whistle |
A night so dark in the waning |
A dawn obscured by a slate sky raining |
Five and twenty burglars by the reservoir |
A teenage lookout on the signal tower |
The mogul’s daughter in hog-tie |
The mogul fingers the wrong guy, all right |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect crime |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, the perfect crime |
It was a perfect crime |
The bagman’s quaking at the fingers |
The hand-off, glance a little lingers |
A well-dressed man in the cross-hairs |
A shot rings out from somewhere upstairs |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect crime |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, the perfect crime |
It was a perfect crime |
It was like a ticker tape parade |
When the plastique on the safe was blown away |
And we all gazed from eye to eye |
As we mouthed our silent goodbyes |
The valley’s sleeping like a bastard |
It stinks of slumber and disaster |
Two words are spoke on the tap wire |
The agent’s ploy finds a surefire backfire |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect crime |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, the perfect crime |
It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect |
A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect crime |
