INTRO
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
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 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
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 a perfect crime
It was the perfect crime
BRIDGE
It was like a ticker-tape parade
When the plastique on the safe was blown away
We all gazed from eye to eye
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
CHORUS
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 a perfect crime
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
