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,
I 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 and 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
Partners in crime
[(inaudible) 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 others 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
