Perfect Crime lyrics
by Alice Cooper
[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Kickin' back in the shadow
Got no need for the light
Who's sorry now, old-timer?
Look at how you've spent your life
Scrounging for change to put some money in your pocket
My, how scratch does burn
Laughing at the suckers as you p*ssed it away
But I got the time, even I got the muscle
I got the need to lay it all on the line
I ain't afraid of your smokescreen hustle
[Chorus]
It's a perfect crime
Goddammit, it's a perfect crime
Motherf*cker, it's a perfect crime
I said it's perfect
[Verse 2]
Keep the demons down and drag the skeletons out
I got a blind man following me in chains
I said, he's fun to watch when the world has stopped
And I think he's got something to say
You wanna f*ck with me?
Don't f*ck with me
'Cause I'm what you'll be
So don't f*ck with me
If you had a better sense
You'd just step aside from the bad side of me
Don't f*ck with the bad side of me
Stay away from the bad side of me
Don't f*ck with the bad side
[Bridge]
(T minus 1:09 and counting)
Ostracized, but that's alright
I was thinking about something myself
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Call on everybody who's got last rites
Said it's better if you locked them away
Running through the visions at the speed of light
Won't you let me be?
Motherf*cker, just let me be
Goddammit, better let me be
Don't you know you better let me, aah
[Chorus]
Perfect crime
Goddammit, it's a perfect crime
Motherf*cker, it's a perfect crime
Don't you know, it's a perfect crime?
