The Decemberists - The Perfect Crime #1 lyrics

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

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 a brawn
I got all the proper papers for the gendarmes
The perfect crime c’est A the perfect crime

I got the mob boss bought
I got a letter from the DEA
I got a mock-up of the lockup
Where they stock up on their pocket change
To pull the perfect crime
This is the perfect crime

We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm
Because the dock side specs had
Been tipped off in time
To this perfect crime
Called out the dogs, called out the cops
I caught the deputy ops
In a cold cock, I will do time
For this perfect crime

So we ran around town with the
Cops snapping on our tails
Because we’d rather brave death then
A fist-fuck in county jail
Just for the perfect crime
For the perfect crime
This is the perfect crime
