"Partners In Crime" lyrics

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime

This, the tale of reckless love, living a life of crime on the run
A brush to a gun to paint these states green and red
Everybody freeze, nobody move, put the money in the bag or we will shoot
Empty out the vault and me and my doll will be on our way

Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we'll play with fire 'cause

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime

Oh, just try to catch us!

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws fall behind the grind tonight
Left unaware that the lone store owner won't go down without a fight
Where we gonna go? He's got us pinned!
Baby, I'm a little scared
Now, don't you quit
He's sounded the alarm, I hear the sirens closing in

Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime

We're the Placerville Sheriff's Police Department. Come out with your hands up. We have the place surrounded. Put your weapons down, put your weapons down! Ready, men? Aim... Fire!

The skies are black with lead-filled rain
A morbid painting on display
This is the night the young love died
Buried at each other's side
You never took us alive
We swore that death would do us part
So now we haunt you in the dark
You never took us alive
We live as ghosts among these streets
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
Partners in crime
