VERSE 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
VERSE 2
Five and twenty burglars by the reservoir
A teenage lookout on the signal tower
The mogul's daughter in hogties
The mogul fingers the wrong guy
CHORUS
F C It was a perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect F C Am A perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect crime F C It was a perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect F C Am A perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect crime
It was the perfect crime
VERSE 3
The bagman's quaking in the fingers
The hand off lends a little lingers
A well dressed man in the cross hairs
A shot rings out from somewhere upstairs
CHORUS
F C It was a perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect F C Am A perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect crime F C It was a perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect F C Am A perfect a perfect a perfect a perfect crime
It was the perfect crime
BRIDGE
F E It was like a ticker-tape parade F E When the plastique on the safe was blown away F E We all gazed from eye to eye F Am As we mouthed our silent good-byes
VERSE 4
The valley sleeping with the bastard
It stinks of slumber and disaster
Two words I spoke on the tap-wire
The agent's ploy was a surefire backfire
