Lyrics
THE PERFECT CRIME
(VERSE)
Well, you know you've thought it through
You've been thinkin it for years
And who would ever blame you
They way they've bullied you to tears
You're gonna give it to those fools
For their history of lies
You have armied all your tools
You've rehearsed your alibi
(CHORUS)
Get ready for the perfect crime
You've already served the time
You've got the perfect crime
(VERSE)
Leave the bodies where they lie
Drop the weapon where you stand
Bleach the room and say goodbye
Exactly as you planned
There will be no DNA
No fingerprints to trace
Nothing left in disarray
Like you were never in the place
(CHORUS)
Get ready for the perfect crime
You've already served the time
Baby, you've got the perfect crime
(BRIDGE)
Invite a full investigation
And you could earn a reputation
As the dame who wouldn't take it anymore
Won the game and settled everybody's score
(VERSE)
You've decided not to run
Cause your conscience is clear
And what could be more fun
Than watching everything from here?
(CHORUS)
Oh girl, get ready for the perfect crime
You've already served the time
You've got the perfect crime
The perfect crime
You've got the perfect crime
